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.
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.
one of the levels, the ships special is a 180° rotation when you pull back on the joystick.
It’s pretty easy to flip the game score with the joystick if you use that level and just don’t move from the middle, you never have to rotate very far if you just spin and flip the ship.

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.
