Actually, Space Wars came out at least 2 years before Asteroids, and 
probably more like 3 or 4.
From my perspective the game never really made it (sales-wise) and 
I haven't seen one in quite a while.  It is one of the better games that
have been made, but it isn't quite suited for arcades.  It is a shame that
it wasn't put out for home games; I think that it would have been very
successful.  Spending a quarter every 90 seconds simply isn't cost
effective for a video wizard.

Asteriods is vintage 1979, do you really think there were popular
video games 3 to 4 years before 1979???
