it's asteroids baby. can't get enough of it. it's super cool how you can change the extra functions that your ship has, making it notably better than some other early releases of this game. one of the few games that makes the 2600s excessive modes/switches/dials feel worthwhile.
Not much to say hear. It's Asteroids, it's a good time.
Perhaps the easiest version of Asteroids.
I shot rocks then blew up, what the hell were they thinking
Played (with a friend) as part of Atari 50.
Well, I guess they tried. Again, it's missing literally anything aesthetically interesting about the original and there's still not much of a reason to move around. All the flashing and that horrendous audio track is really nauseating tbh, pretty much no reason to come back to this over any of the several better versions in this pack.

Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 1: Atari Vol 1
Asteroids often for me is very take it or leave it but hoo boy. I get what they were going for with this port and I sort of dig the multicoloured rocks but somewhere along the way the coding for the Asteroids just failed completely and they move so lazily in such predictable patterns.
Its entirely possible to rack up megapoints by just staying absolutely still and shooting from the centre, never once touching the thrusters to actually move around the stage.
So basically its babys first Asteroids. Its not the worst but its so simple that it basically gets stale rather fast.
