PCB source for the original Asteroids arcade game. This is a reproduction of a rev. 2 PCB. There are two sets of gerber files: the main Asteroids PCB and a small adapter board for IC 8C. 8C was a masked ROM that is no longer available. The adapter PCB will allow a 2716 EPROM to be used in it's place. A 28C16A-25 flash ROM will also work.

Questions

How big is the Asteroids PCB PCB?

It measures 290.8 × 482.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Asteroids PCB use?

1,469 parts, built around the AD561JN and 1N756A. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Asteroids PCB KiCad files?

From the nmikstas/asteroids-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Asteroids_PCB/Asteroids_PCB.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Asteroids PCB design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask nmikstas before reusing the design.
