https://alan-1.com - Asteroids Recharged Arcade features a staple of video game classics - that of the power-up. Several different power-ups with unique effects will appear at random and this video shows you what each of them does. Note that some of the effects have been modified and improved from the console version.

They are, in order of appearance in the video:

Bi-Way - Fires a bullet from the back of the ship, along with the front.
Tri-way - Fires three bullets, one straight, the other two to the direct left & right. Great screen cover.
Spread burst - A short-range spread shot. Great for clearing out the screen quickly.
Tri-Burst - Fires three bullets at once. Has full-range to reach across the screen.
Exploding Bullets - Destructive shots that create mini-black holes upon impact
Mega Laser - A straight beam of energy that slices through anything in encounters.
Orbiting bullets - A breakable shield that orbits your ship. If one collides with an asteroid, it’s removed like it had been fired.
Rapid Fire - Hold the button down for a machine-gun type firing effect
Slow Time - Slows everything down except for your ship for a couple of moments. Changes the sound of the whole game while active.
Trailing Bullets - See your bullet trails while dealing more damage.
Deflector - An energy shield that will keep you safe for a short period of time.
