Yeah, I agree with Stingray, haven't seen an Asteroids or for that matter a vector game anywhere since the early nineties.  Maybe collectors have been hoarding these things?  It would seem common if you saw one every day, right?  I'm not really one to go to any big auctions, either.  maybe they're a dime a dozen at the fabled SuperAuction?

The Atari Vectors are out there, and are common, they just don't get flipped as much as other titles. Check the VAPS stats, the single most common DEDICATED game on VAPS.org is Tempest.

Collectors tend to buy and sell the non-vector titles more often, while the vector titles just get hoarded. Superauctions is usually good for 1-4 B&W Atari vectors and maybe a color one every other auction.

I recently bought all the electronics for an Asteroids, but haven't been able to find an empty Asteroids cabinet to put them in yet.  In the mean time I've got them in my Tempest project cab.

I guess that makes it a Temperoids, or would it be an Aspest?  Either way it sounds like a painful condition in need of some cream.

Temperoids are very inconvenient. I had one last year and couldn't sit properly for two weeks!

Hard to believe. I haven't seen a Tempest in probably 15 years. Oh how I'd love to come across one for sale in my area.

I think I'd rather have Temperoids than Permeroids.
