Asteroids
The objective of Asteroids is to score as many points as possible by destroying asteroids and flying saucers. The player controls a triangular-shaped ship that can rotate left and right, fire shots straight forward, and thrust forward. As the ship moves, momentum is not conserved — the ship eventually comes to a stop again when not thrusting. The player can also send their ship into hyperspace, causing it to disappear and reappear in a random location on the screen (with the risk of self-destructing or appearing on top of an asteroid).

Asteroids was a fun game to play on the arcade. I never played it on Atari.
 
Just like hemorrhoids I never enjoyed Asteroids. I tried playing it here and there but I never gravitated to it.
