EASTER EGGS

Asteroids

The reserve ships can stretch across the entire top of the screen!

BUG: Rev. 1 tricks - The original software version (says “Asteroids by Atari” at bottom of screen, instead of “1979 Atari”) had an invulnerability glitch, where you could hide in the upper corners (in the score) and nothing would hit you. Also, you can get your ship to fly backwards- thrust in one direction until reaching full speed, and then quickly turn around 180 degrees and continue thrusting.

BUG: When too many asteroids are on the screen (there’s a limit), and a larger one is shot, it will disappear completely!
