Class was back in session and Riley was back to being Riley. He was really glad about that. Today, the class was in the Danger Shop again since he needed the arcade setting.

"Good morning. Hope all you guys are enjoying being guy shaped again. I know I am. Anyway, less said about that, the better. Today, we're going to be playing Asteroids. Asteroids is a multi-directional shooter arcade video game released in November 1979 by Atari, Inc. and designed by Lyle Rains and Ed Logg. The game is pretty simple. The player, which is gonna be us today, controls a spaceship in an asteroid field which is periodically traversed by flying saucers. The object of the game is to shoot and destroy asteroids and saucers while not colliding with either or being hit by the saucers' counter-fire. The game becomes harder as the number of asteroids increases, and they become faster."

See, sounded simple right? Wait till you got to the higher levels, people.

"Asteroids is another one of those games that left a lasting legacy on the video game industry as well. Asteroids has been acclaimed by players and video game critics for its vector graphics, controls, and gameplay. It was one of the most popular and influential games of the golden age of arcade games, selling 70,000 arcade cabinets and being widely imitated. It has since been ported to multiple platforms. So, let's give it a try and see who's the best Asteroids player in the bunch!"

Riley got the Danger Shop going and the arcade came to life! Time to play Asteroids!
