Asteroids is a multidirectional shooter arcade video game designed by Lyle Rains and Ed Logg and released by Atari, Inc. in 1979. The player steers a spaceship through an asteroid field on a vector display, shooting asteroids and flying saucers, and the game became one of the first major hits of the golden age of arcade games before Atari's home ports, including an Atari 2600 version that sold more than three million copies.
