Asteroids
Atari's first and most successful hit of the golden age of arcades. Good, simple shooting action. Unusually fair for an arcade game of any era; skilled players can last so long that they have actually caused machine operators to lose revenue. Emulation can't 100% replicate its distinct vector monitor look, though is leagues ahead of the low-res raster graphics that early home versions got.
