How did that work? The dial was analog left right and a button.

The thrust on asteroids was digital- on or off forward, left, right and back on the joystick was hyperspace jump.

You couldn't move or hyper jump if you used the dial.

I don't think Asteroids was a paddle game at all.

It wasn't but you could sort of play some joystick games with the paddle.
