Asteroids? Centipede?

This is a tough one. You are part correct

The correct answer is Asteroids deluxe. The 1980 sequal to the hit 1979 Asteroids. Asteroids deluxe had a shield button insteqd of hyperspace, and had a blue x/y graphics instead of the bright white. The game was much harder.

Only a arcade rat (which I was at that age) would recognize the difference.

In a nice touch, the pinball game was a table named "Heat Wave".
