Hm, I wonder if a "real" 3D Asteroids would work. Like a FPS, just with Asteroids and UFOs attacking from all directions. 
Does such a game exist?

Btw. the demo you posted looks really good. How many divisions/multiplies does the code? It looks damn fast for a vcs...

Let me/us know when you can need tests or bug-reports.
From own experience they'd sure be annoying currently

Reports/critique about gameplay/speed/etc. is welcome.I now want to put the 'plasmorb' in it. I considered using the Playfield registers but that's probably way too time consuming. At this moment, I have 30 (possibly more) spare cycles left in the sky-kernel, where the ball comes. So I probably use the ball sprite for the plasmorb. So it will be a bit smaller than the plasmorb in the original ballblazer, unless I use flickering, but it's nicer not to have flicker...

Ah, VERY nice and smooth.
However, I would drop 60 FPS anytime if that allows for better progress/gameplay etc
But it appears to be very far already - splendid!
Best of luck with that gemstone of yours.
Really looking forward to it.

- I've now dropped the sprites and the game-logic to 30fps. But I now interpolate the playfield so it still runs in that smooth 60Hz!
- I also updated the pseudo-3d routines. The horizontal lines of the checkerboard had a too linear movement. I've corrected this with table that made the movement more parabolic. It has now more the smoothness of the 7800 version.
- Rotofoil in the lower viewport is now displayed correctly.
- More goalbeams!
- I moved some of the sprite-position code to the vblank area. So less spare-cycles there, but more screen real estate.
- masking of rotofoil not 100% finished yet...
