Franchises like Star Wars had for years proven that kids would pretty much die for anything with the likeness of their favorite characters or logos on it, and video games were no exception. Luckily for Astérix, his new home would be one that knew exactly what to do with him.ĭuring the late ’80s to the early ’90s, licensed properties had become a hot commodity. It was time to find a new home and a fresh take on the series. I even read Asterix and the Belgians in German but didn't go for any of the others.In 1990 Astérix was finally out of the stranglehold of Coktel Vision’s mediocre attempts, which time and time again felt stiff and unappealing. I read them in French, yes, and definitely preferred them to the Tintin stories.
The film is based on Asterix and the Great Crossing).Īsterix Game Book: The Meeting of the Chieftains How Obelix fell in to the Magic Potion (based on the Asterix comic strip of the 1960s)Īsterix conquers America (This title is a book of the film by the same name. The script is based on two books: Asterix and the Big Fight and Asterix and the Soothsayer). Operation Getafix (the book is based on the film Asterix and the Big Fight. Either there or in the one immediately afterwards, there are many stupid allusions and pseudo-puns in the german edition that will hardly last a year and are not funny even now. I think one of them is "Asterix and Maestria". Personally, I don't like the last 2 or 3 issues that much. Also, I think one has to be well acquainted with French contemporary politics and cultural happenings in order to get all the puns. Is it possible that not all 31 issues have been translated into Portuguese, MCdread? That would be a pity.ĭuke, do you read Asterix in French? I would love to be able to do that, but my French is only elementary. They always attack the two and then apologize "Oh, we thought you were the Elamites." "Oh, we thought you were the Medians." "Oh, we thought you were the Sumerians." In the desert, they encounter numerous tribes. That is the one where Asterix and Obelix have to go on a quest for "Stone Oil" (Petra oleum > Petroleum) because Miraculix needs it for the "Potion of Strength" (how is it called in the english version?).
If I had to choose one, I would go for "Asterix and the Odyssey" (I think you did not include that).
I voted for "There are so many great ones, I can't decide", too.
