Atari Games Corporation was a subsidiary of Time Warner Communications. It was founded in 1985 after Time Warner sold the console and computer divisions of Atari, Inc. (which continued operations as Atari Corporation). Atari Games Corporation kept Atari's arcade business. Warner Communications sold off its controlling interest to Namco in 1985 (which were bought back by Atari employees in 1986). At this time, the company founded Tengen, Inc. to get foot into the console market. Time Warner bought the controlling interest back in 1993 and made the company a subsidiary of Time Warner Interactive, Inc.. In 1996 it was sold to WMS Industries which made it a subsidiary or Midway Games, Inc. and renamed it to Midway Games West, Inc. in 1999. It remained in the arcade business until 2001 and was closed in 2003. However, the entity was not dissolved until 2013 (and, along with the rest of Midway, became property of Warner Bros. Entertainment in 2009).

Description

Blasteroids is a game of arcade skill. Using your thrust craft in its three forms, you must battle your way through the Sectors and Galaxies riddled with asteroids and deadly enemy ships to ultimately defeat the evil Mukor, who rules all Galaxies.
Blasteroids has four different Warps of increasing difficulty - Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert. Each Warp contains several Galaxies, and each Galaxy consists of 9 or 16 sectors depending on its level of difficulty. Fly down the tunnel of the Warp you wish to play. Hard and expert Warps are to be avoided unless you are very experienced at piloting your thrust craft.
Your craft is transformable between:
Speeder - the quickest ship
- Fighter has the most firepower
- Warrior has the heaviest armour
You control your craft by rotating and thrusting, but remember that your ship has mass and momentum.
To clear a sector you must destroy or disable all the asteroids present. Shooting large asteroids will break them up into smaller asteroids which in turn must also be destroyed. Collisions and thrust use up energy and you must replenish your fuel energy supplies by collecting crystals. Crystals are released from red asteroids when they are completely destroyed. The energy content of the crystals reduces as they decay. Fly over the crystals to absorb their energy. You will come across various types of enemy ships during your journey through the Galaxy. These all have different appearances and attack in different ways. Destroying an enemy ship often reveals a piece of special equipment - fly over these to collect them.
When you have completed a sector the exit portal will spin into view - fly down this to get to the Galactic Map.
To control your ship move the joystick left or right to rotate the ship in the direction desired. To thrust push your joystick forward. For rapid fire hold down the fire button.
