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 ;)
