Description

 

 

 

Asteroids is a popular vector-based video arcade game released in 1979 by Atari Games. The object of the game is for the player to shoot and destroy asteroids without being hit by the fragments.

The game was conceived by Lyle Rains and programmed by Ed Logg. Asteroids was a hit in the United States and became one of Atari's best selling games of all time. It was so popular that video arcade owners usually had to install larger boxes to hold all the coins this machine raked in.

One feature of the game was the ability for players to record their initials with their high scores, an innovation which is standard in arcade games to this day.
