Didn't Jeff Minter also do GridRunner on the Vic-20?

...Was there a better coin-op video game in the early 80's?

Many, many quality coin-ops from the early 80s (Although Asteroids was around in 1979!!)

Defender
Tempest
Robotron 2084
(In fact, nearly anything that Williams Electronics made!)
Mr Do!
Amidar
The original "Sit down" Star Wars game



And many, many more.......

And how about this sound to bring back memories?!

try getting 'midways greatest hits',its got the arcade versions of:

spy hunter

I hope you all know about MAME (www.mame.net) which lets you play 1000's of old arcade games from the 70's 80's and 90's (including joust).

You can download the game roms from alt.binaries.emulators.mame or BitTorrent.
