Off topic, but Laser Blast was a great 2600 game. The ground stayed "hot" after you shot it, so a near miss could be a kill if the enemy rolled into the hot zone. The controls were modal - you could move your ship around with the stick, or hold the fire button down and aim your laser, which fired when you let go of the button. Creative work by the Activision devs.
