Asteroids is a video arcade game released in November 1979 by Atari Inc.

The objective of Asteroids is to score as many points as possible by destroying asteroids and flying saucers.

The Asteroids arcade machine is a vector game.

That original Asteroids prototype board still exists, and is currently in Delman's personal collection.

Asteroids also features various sound effects, each of which is implemented by its own circuitry.

Asteroids Hyper 64 is an update to the 1979 arcade shooter Asteroids released for the Nintendo 64 on December 14, 1999.

The vector technique is similar to the visuals of games such as Asteroids.

Mining the Sky: Untold Riches from the Asteroids, Comets, and Planets is a book by John S. Lewis which discusses the development of interplanetary space within our solar system.

While ostensibly very similar to Breakout – the layout, sound, and general behavior of the game is identical – Super Breakout is a microprocessor based game instead of discrete logic, programmed by Asteroids programmer Ed Logg using an early M6502 chip.

Lyle Rains was a senior executive at the arcade game company Atari and is sometimes, with Ed Logg, listed as a co-developer of the video game Asteroids.

* " I guess the way I describe it is that I'm the father of Asteroids.

Ed Logg is the mother of Asteroids, because he had to live with it for nine months and deliver a finished product.

This category contains articles that are about entire groups of asteroids, but not about the specific asteroids that are in those groups themselves ; specific asteroids should be placed in categories named after the group they're in, which is then a subcategory of: Category: Asteroids.

He is a member of the Cortina Astronomical Association ( Associazione Astronomica Cortina ) and is also a collaborator with the Minor Planet Center ( MPC ) at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory monitoring Near-Earth Asteroids brighter than magnitude 18. 0 V under the auspices of Division III of the International Astronomical Union at his own Pianoro Observatory ( MPC Observatory 610 ).

Ed Logg, the creator of Asteroids and Centipede, is credited for Original Game Design of Gauntlet in the arcade version, as well as the 1987 NES release version.

The game is essentially an Asteroids clone with modern enhancements, such as power-ups, shields, a high-energy techno module soundtrack, vivid use of colors and the occasional tunnel section that revolves around a sphere.

Spheres of Chaos is a space shooter video game, created by Iain McLeod, with the basic gameplay being similar to the classic arcade game Asteroids.

This program is responsible for the discovery of several thousand asteroids of all types including a large number of Near-Earth Asteroids ( NEAs ), over 200 high inclination objects, other rare and unique orbital types of asteroids and 20 comets.

Maelstrom is a 1992 clone of Asteroids with an improved interface and better graphics.

The unit is set out as part of the Atari History Museum exhibits run by Curt Vendel, running with Space Invaders or Asteroids for show-goers to play.

The gameplay can be described as a Three-dimensional version of Asteroids, but instead of a ship, the player character is the child patient on a hoverboard.

This blast was also featured on The Science Channel series Killer Asteroids, with several witness reports from residents in Atlin, British Columbia.

In 2010, the game was re-released in a Taco Bell promotion, in which a series of four classic Atari game CD-ROMs ( Centipede, Lunar Lander, Super Breakout, and Asteroids ) were given away in kids ' meals, and were also available for purchase separately.

Asteroids that have a 1: 1 orbital resonance with a planet are also called co-orbital objects, because they follow the orbit of the planet.

Many other arcade games during the golden age also had hardware unit sales at least in the tens of thousands, including Ms. Pac-Man with over 115, 000 units, Asteroids with 70, 000, Donkey Kong with over 60, 000, Defender with 55, 000, Galaxian with 40, 000, Donkey Kong Junior with 35, 000, Mr. Do!

Asteroids Deluxe also features various sound effects, most of which are implemented by its own circuitry but some sounds are generated using the Atari POKEY sound chip.

The first game produced by Ambrosia was Maelstrom, a remake of the Asteroids arcade game.

Development was led by Eugene Jarvis, a pinball programmer at Williams ; Defender was Jarvis ' first video game project, and drew inspiration from Space Invaders and Asteroids.

Although the Sirians were first introduced in Lucky Starr and the Pirates of the Asteroids as the villains of the series, they remained nothing more than a vague external menace until this particular book.

Asteroids was a hit in the United States and became Atari's best selling game of all time.

Atari had been in the process of manufacturing another vector game, Lunar Lander, but demand for Asteroids was so high " that several hundred Asteroids games were shipped in Lunar Lander cabinets.

This oversight was addressed in the game's sequel, Asteroids Deluxe, and led to significant changes in the way game developers designed and tested their games in the future.

When it was decided that Asteroids would be a vector game as well, Delman modified a Lunar Lander circuit board for Ed Logg.

The main Asteroids game program uses only 6 KB of ROM code.

He co-developed the video game Asteroids with Lyle Rains.

Large asteroids, an element from Asteroids, were then added to the game world, but were later removed because the staff felt it lacked enjoyment.

His most famous title was a version of Asteroids for the Commodore International VIC 20 ( a game that Jeff Minter once described as a " pile of wank ").

It was one of five minor planets included in the 1993 study, Transition Comets -- UV Search for OH Emissions in Asteroids, which was research involving amateur astronomers who were permitted to make use of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Asteroids displays vector graphics on a special monitor, while the staff planned to use pixel graphics on a conventional monitor.

224 Oceana was one of five minor planets included in the 1993 study, Transition Comets -- UV Search for OH Emissions in Asteroids, which was research involving amateur astronomers who were permitted to make use of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Asteroids Deluxe replaces the hyperspace feature with shields which deplete with use.
