i bought one in 1995 played it regularly until i was posted to the UK in 2000 and had to sell it. the reason the guy only charged me $250 for it was that the fire button didn't work. i was aware of this but i bought it with the intention to fix it. After playing it for a few days, i got used to playing without the fire button and just left it the way it was to play, you had to crash your ship into the enemy saucers, kamikaze style. If you're successful, you get the same points (100 for the big slow ones, and 500 for the small, fast ones) as if you had hit them using the fire button. over the past decade or so, i've played asteroids a few dozen times, where i've happened to see a machine, but not once have i used the fire button.
