Asteroids

 A fun applet with no other redeeming value (or how I taught myself Java):

A Java applet to play Asteroids Rules: Destroy asteroids by firing bullets from ship.  If you clear all the asteroids, more will come.  You never run out of ships or bullets!

Controls:
  
Left/Right Arrows - Rotate ship
   Up Arrow - Thrust ship forward
   Space bar - Fire bullets

Note: If the ship doesn't respond to the keyboard, try clicking once on the ship with the mouse.
