Hi,
will you help me to find a game?
I am searching for a game I had about 10 years ago on my PC, when I was kid. I tried hard to google it etc but to no avail.

I remember these things about it:
-asteroid shooter, 2D, quite simple, but the ships actually looked like ships, not just triangles.
-up to 4 players
-small screen with black space, few moving greyish asteroids, can be hit and broken into smaller pieces. The smallest pieces can be shot off (once no piece of asteroid is on the screen, new level starts)
-a yellow smiley may pop up after asteroid hit (don't remember its function though)

Customizable features:
You can distribute limited points into these categories:
speed of your ship
rotation speed
weapon range
power of your defence

Possible kinds of defence:
shield
(anti)magnet
teleportation (after a certain amount of teleportations your ship will turn into very large one, which is impractical)

Interaction with other players:
If you hit your player's ship with shot it will just bounce but if a ship hits another ship, both of them explodes.

The actual shots are just of one kind. When a shot leave the screen, it appears on the other side of it. You can move your ship around likewise.

Edit: Already found (Comet Busters), thank you.

You might already know this, but these types of games are clones of an old game called Asteroids. There are a lot of variants of this game, many of which have power-ups and the like. I suggest going through this list of Asteroids variants at Moby games. (There are 53 listed, just to give you an idea of the scale of the problem).

Thank you very much. It turned out to be Comet Busters from 1993.
