Back in a world before pixels, all programmers had were lines.  A company called Atari had wowed crowds with their clever use of lines in a game called Pong, but now line technology had advanced. It was 1979, and lines could be made to look like spaceships, big rocks and flying saucers - as long as you squinted a little.

And so, Asteroids was born. An elegantly simple and beautifully gratifying game. You float in space and shoot the asteroids, but the more you shoot, the more asteroids you create.
