What even is a video game? Asteroids uses a vector display, not a video display, so is it a video game? Well, let's break it down:
- A "game" is a contest of skill with a winner and a loser. The asteroids win and the player loses every time, so we're good there.
- "Video" comes from the Latin for "to see," and it's possible to play Asteroids with your eyes closed, so no, not a video game.
