Few games in history are as recognized as Asteroids. The pounding sound
effects, simple graphics, and strangely addictive gameplay has permeated
throughout all of American society. One only has to watch TV shows like
NBC's Freaks and Geeks, or the classic film National Lampoon's Vacation
to realize just how entrenched this game has become in our popular culture.
Few games have been copied or ported as often as Asteroids. Pac-Man perhaps,
or Space Invaders, would definitely be nearest competitors for the clone
crown. Even today, Asteroids clones and ports are popping up as Java applets,
or in current releases for modern game systems such as the Sega Dreamcast.
