Summary

Asterix & Obelix on the SNES lets you pick either of the famous Gauls, and even lets a friend join in for simultaneous co‑op play. The side‑scrolling platform action has you jumping, running and bashing Roman foes while hunting down artifacts scattered across a stylized 50 BC Europe. Each level is a nod to a classic comic adventure – from the misty hills of Britain to the Alpine slopes of Switzerland, the grand stadium of the Olympic Games, Cleopatra’s Egyptian palace, and the sun‑drenched streets of Spain. Between the main quests you can break the routine with quirky bonus stages, such as a rugby match and a full‑blown Olympic competition, adding a playful twist to the historic romp. Progress is saved with password codes, so you can pick up the quest wherever you left off.

Storyline

In the SNES title Astérix & Obélix, the adventure begins with the player choosing either Asterix or Obelix and wandering through a Gaulish village before venturing into a forest. After navigating the woods, the heroes set sail across the sea and arrive in Britain, kicking off the first of several overseas excursions.
The game then guides the duo through a series of distinct locales, each named after a classical version of a modern country: Britania, Helvetia, Grecia, Egyptia and Hispania. Each region presents its own set of platforming challenges and enemies that reflect the local flavor. The travel‑based structure gives the platformer a globe‑trotting feel uncommon for its era.
