Asteroid (1973)

by Atari, Midway Manufacturing
Story:Asteroid was originally developed by Atari for Midway in fulfillment of a contract to supply one video game and one pinball machine. Atari had initially offered Pong during its development to fulfill the contract, but had been rejected. After finishing Asteroid Atari developed a near identical version of the game and released it themselves under the title "Space Race".Show more

This entry should really be Space Race, which was released first and the original development. It's a very simplistic game overall and has the disadvantage of being a transistor-transistor logic (TTL) game which means it's not software emulatable. I believe an FPGA does exist for it.
