Controls
Boots straight to Asteroids attract mode -- the rotating asteroids drifting across the vector screen. Press 5 (or C) to insert a coin and 1 to start; rotate with Left/Right, thrust with Up, fire with Space, hyperspace with Shift. Click the screen first so it captures the keyboard. Open the debugger to single-step the 6502, read and write registers and memory, watch the vector RAM display list, and set breakpoints and write watchpoints.
