Atari 5200 Super System

BALLBLAZER

· EASTER EGG: If you win a game in the 1st minute, the initials “DL” and “PSL” (for D. Levine and P. Langston) will appear in the lower-right corner of the playfield.  {David Levine}

· At least 2 different versions are known to exist.  One has the name BALLBLASTER onscreen (picture #1).  Besides some text difference (picture #2) with the released version (pictures #5 and #6), the theme music is missing the keyboard part.  This version was leaked by someone at Atari, a year before the game was eventually released. The other version, dated 1-20-84, is the same as the released version, except that the name is on the copyright screen (Lucasfilm games don’t show the name there), and there are some minor text differences (pictures #4 and #5). 

· The working title was Topsy Turvy.
