History: Asteroids is a popular vector-based video arcade game released in 1979 by Atari. The object of the game is for the player to shoot and destroy asteroids without being hit by the fragments. It was one of the most popular and influential games of the Golden Age of Arcade Games. Asteroids is still popular and versions can be found on many internet game sites (like this one, duh).
NERD
NOTE: Asteroids was inspired, in a roundabout way, by the seminal Spacewar!, the first computer-based video game. In 1977 a stand-up arcade game version was produced as Space Wars, which included a number of optional versions and added a floating asteroid as a visual device. Asteroids is essentially a one-player version of Spacewar!, featuring the "wedge" ship from the original and promoting the asteroids to be the main opponent.

Sports: Penguin vs Yeti Like to smack penguins with baseball bats? Should your Yeti catch
the penguin at the right moment and angle, you might just hit one out
of the park, or arctic continent.
