Asterix in 2009 means 50 years of success in the world of comic books. What is less well known is that it is also marks 25 years of video game history! For proof, take the first Asterix video game, produced in 1984 under the sober title of Asterix. Now of course, given that technology has progressed over the past 25 years at the speed of light thanks to a quaff of magic potion, the screen shots of yesteryear do tend to bring an indulgent smile to our face…But at a time when "vintage" games are now "cult" items and music from the most famous games is played in concert by symphony orchestras, we shouldn't forget that this game left its mark on history. If the truth is to be known, it even brought out a cold sweat on the brows of the most brilliant gamers since it determined the winners at the formidable national and regional championship finals that were in fashion back then. Today, Asterix and his friends are back with a brand-new game for the Nintendo DS. "Asterix - These Romans are Crazy!" is going to test your reflexes. This "party game", as the Gauls now call them, will lead you through a series of adventures via a sort of snakes and ladders game comprised of 20 mini-games that take you through four different universes: 
Everything it takes to thrill fans of all ages and enjoy fun with your family! The game offers a 2-player mode, playing by turns on the same Nintendo DS™. By Toutatis, now this is something to be celebrated in our virtual Asterix.com Village!
