This is a straight bootleg of Asteroids by Atari, copied off Atari's Rev A boards. It uses the easier set of ROMs so you can get a really high score because the gameplay is easier. There are no copyright notices in the game.
Personal Impressions and Technical Impressions each account for half of the total score.
Within the Personal Impressions category, Like
carries a little more weight than the other factors.

The cabinet has woodgrain sides, a black/bright pink and yellow color scheme and has some mirrored glass outlines used around the text.
The schematics supplied with the machine are straight photocopies of Atari's Asteroids, but with all the Atari writing blanked out.

The game uses a very unusual Hantarex Vector monitor. Hantarex are not known to have produced vector monitors. They are a big european monitor manufacturer that are still going strong today. Perhaps this was a batch developed 'on the side' by Hantarex for Alca only. There is no documentation found so far for it.
