I was fortunate enough to have had a 2600. I had played many of the games it featured in the actual arcade and then played friend's 2600s for quite a while before I got one. Having Asteroids at home was great. I also enjoyed unique 2600 games like Yar's Revenge. It didn't take long for Atari and other game companies to improve on the 2600's game-play and graphics but while it lasted I enjoyed my Atari thoroughly. ;D

Well that is what happened to most people. I tended to stay my ground in the center of the screen and do my worst. That worked pretty well but if you really wanted to excel playing Asteroids you had to be able to use all of your options and master maneuvering around the screen. I guess I didn't want it bad enough. ;D
