Asteroids was released for the Atari 2600 in 1981, ported from the arcade hit. Asteroids is a space-themed multidirectional shooter arcade video game designed by Lyle Rains and Ed Logg released in November 1979 by Atari. The player controls a single spaceship in an asteroid field which is periodically traversed by flying saucers. Programmers Brad Stewart and Bob Smith were unable to fit the 2600 port into a 4 KB cartridge. It became the first game for the console to use bank switching, a technique that increases ROM size from 4 KB to 8 KB.
