Logg's prototype of Asteroids caught on so quickly with fellow
engineers at Atari that he had to build a 2nd prototype just so they

In Asteroids, players control a triangular spaceship that starts off in
the center of the screen. A number of big asteroids drift across the
playfield. The player must destroy the space-borne rocks while staying
