"Rock game"

Asteroids and its VCS-2600-conversion are also featured in the book "Racing the Beam" which is touted as a platform study of the VCS.
This interesting book concentrates on half a dozen games like Combat, Adventure, Pacman & Yars' Revenge and what makes them special and different.
People interested in game development on the VCS or in general may find enough material here that shows how a given machine's restrictions apply to gameplay.

take care,
