To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

This looks like a nice remake Atari did for Asteroids

I remember spending hours and hours playing this on my 2600, I remember playing for 3-4hrs straight with no breaks and had a huge highscore and my mom called me and she didn't care I was playing a game ... ugh I died ruined all that work for a simple chore hahaha why didn't Atari think of pause game feature back then haha
Oh, very nice! Back in the day, when D1 was doing chores for his mum, my local pub had one these:
Many happy evenings spent drinking beer and playing Asteroids there. <sighs wistfully>
Hahaha well I doubt you could have beaten my score in your drunken state 🙂
But that is a old machine it has the trackball controller that makes playing Asteroids so much harder than the atari controller 😉

I remember that it's the one we had in the local cinema. 😎

<grins> So a bit like pinball: on your favourite table, I'd lose - whereas on my favourite table, you'd lose!
@cody Very true, very true
Those table tops were cool because you can easily watch a person play it was actually engaging ... it put the pressure on you 😉
