Hi Dark, Correction. In Asteroids your ship is not stationary. You have thrusters to move your ship forward, left, and right through the asteroid field. You shoot the asteroids to break them apart and then shoot the smaller asteroids etc until they are completely destroyed. On the higher difficulty levels a little green UFO shows up to give you something else to think about besides clearing asteroid fields. That's the original Asteroids anyway. Some years later in the mid to late 1990's Activision released an all new Asteroids game for the PC which was far more interesting than the Atari classic. There were cut-scenes and special missions to embark on. the over all story was changed in that there was this alien race that wanted to destroy planet Earth by sending an astroid field in the path of Earth which would have whiped out the human race. It was your job to intercept those asteroids and destroy them before they reached Earth. You were equipped with a ship with lasers, a battering ram, deflector shields, etc. After a couple of levels the aliens themselves showed up to see what you were doing and you not only had to take out the asteroids but whipe out the alien invasion fleet too. Pretty darn cool game.
