Asteroids has more surprises than the arcade cabinet’s power button. Once I hit the “wrap” button in the wrong sequence and the ships turned into floating point clouds that bounced off the screen edges like drunken sprites. Then I nudged the “asteroid spawn” variable in the RAM and suddenly the game became a full‑blown rave of exploding blobs, each one scattering pixel dust that danced to the chiptune. The thing is, those glitches are the stuff of myth, and unless you’re willing to stare at a blinking cursor for hours, they’re just another pixelated glitch in the machine’s soul.
