Nice! I love random polls created out of sheer boredom. It reminds me of the forum I host...
Anyway, Asteroids is definitely one of my favorite old school games. The premise is simple, yet... you just can't move away without blowing up all those rocks! I would love to use one of the original arcade machines, with the vector monitor and everything. I've never played a game on a vector monitor, and thinking about it makes me excited. I hope I can find an Asteroids arcade machine someday!
In the meantime, the best home made recreation of Asteroids by far is Neave.com's Flash Asteroids game. It looks practically identical to the arcade version, and has an online scoreboard (although the highest scores are almost impossible to beat).
Check it out here:
