Drive Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster past asteroids in this retro video game
Avoid the asteroids and defeat Jeff Bezos while getting the Tesla Roadster safely through the stars in this gratifying retro video game.
Created by car blog AutoWise, the game puts you behind the wheel of Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster, launched by SpaceX in February as the payload of the Falcon Heavy rocket.
Set to an 8-bit version of David Bowie's "Starman," the same track playing in the space-dwelling Roadster and the name of the dummy pilot, the game takes three minutes to beat.
It's set in three stages: Earth, Moon, and Mars. Each contains different enemies to destroy or avoid, and there's a final boss in the form of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, founder of competitor space company Blue Origin.
You can play the game on AutoWise, or below. It's sadly not available on mobile as you'll need a keyboard to move the Roadster around. Use the arrows to move and the space bar to shoot. Bon voyage.
