* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: ''Asteroids'' and ''Asteroids Deluxe'' are available on most platforms, plug-and-play toys and compilation games. ''Blasteroids'', on the other hand, hasn't left arcade cabinets and is nowhere to be found digitally. Don't ask Atari about it, either, as the rights to that game are with Creator/WarnerBros, who has no plans for a re-release.

** ''VideoGame/CometBusters'', a Windows 3.1 clone that added simultaneous multiplayer, which ended up being its most popular trait. The clone status was lampshaded in its help file, describing the game as "based upon the popular game A*teroids" and opening the rules section with "Rules!?!?
