About the game
Orbit (1978) for Arcade takes its place in the VG90 index as one more thread in the story of the first wave of arcade and home gaming, kept here for readers researching the period.
the first wave of arcade and home gaming was a period of rapid change for the medium: cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. Placing Orbit in that timeline shows where it sat as the industry evolved.

Why it matters
The value of a record like this is context: the first wave of arcade and home gaming produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
