I am not the author but I can tell you of a problem with Asteriods, along with
a solution, that a friend of mine worked out.

ASTERIODS turns off ALL interrupts except for 'key down', 'key up',
'mouse down', 'mouse up'.  The problem is that when you quit from
the program it doesn't turn the other interrupts back on.  Since the
Mac is single user, there really isn't anything to worry about --
thus one solution is to NOT turn off all the other interrupts.

Using FEDIT 2.1 or another program of your choice, open the ASTERIODS
application.  In block 1, address 162 (hex) change the contents from
001E to FFFF.  (For anyone who is interested this value is placed in
memory location 144, the system event mask).

While you are mucking about, set the bundle bit.  ASTERIODS has its
own icon, if you hadn't noticed.

Hope this solves the problem Japp Bood was having...
