I must not remember correctly but I didn't think it was possible to "beat" asteroids. I thought it just went on forever...like space... I remember playing one game for hours and hours.

Must be in a mode or difficulty I didn't play.

It has a maximum score before it restarts the count. I can't remember what that was.

The old-school term for that was "flipping" a game. Super Mario Brothers and Zelda and the NES era more generally really brought in the concept of "beating" games.
