Obelix is the complete opposite: sullen and slow, but the drink is not needed. Asterix - very fast and agile, but against particularly strong enemies he is the most magical drink. Between the characters there is a significant difference. There are one-and two-player (you can choose who will control Asterix and Obelix who). So, Asterix & Obelix made in the genre of 'platformer'. Gathering his thoughts, the leader of the village Vitalstatistics sends Asterix and Obelix in different provinces of the Roman Empire. But the Romans, not long thinking, has built small houses around the whole camp! Then the Gauls decide to prove to Caesar that they are able to cross the border and go even to distant countries.
And, it seems, they lived happily ever after. And only one small village held back their onslaught with increasing strength of the drink (which is the 'hallmark' of Asterix). The plot is based on the aforementioned comic book: the year is 50 BC all Gaul is occupied by the vile Romans. Not escaped this fate and Asterix with Obelix (but the game about them out before).
Adventurers Tintin and Spirou, the mysterious long-tailed animal Marsupilami, tiny Smurfs - these little books are read all over Europe. The company Infogrames is famous for its games based on the popular Franco-Belgian comics.
