| Atari 5200 Super System |
· HIDDEN MESSAGE: According to the manual, after surpassing the 10th wave, special graphics will appear (in the explosion of hitting a Galaxian). On some waves you’ll sometimes see an Atari logo (picture #1); starting at wave 10 a Pac-Man appears (picture #2); and by wave, it’s the initials JT (for programmer Joe Tung – picture #3). {Ken Mersbergen and Scott Stilphen}
· There are 32 waves, which are counted in groups of 8. The first 8 waves are denoted by red flags, the next 8 are multi-colored flags, the next 8 are gold, and the last 8 are blue. The colors start over with red.
· You can kill Galaxians w/o firing – simply let them run into the “missile” on the top of your ship.
· Hitting a flag ship in flight causes all the Galaxians to momentarily stop firing (same trick as in the arcade version).
· BUG: Start a game and then hit SELECT to return to the “game over” screen. You’ll still be able to play, and the on-screen text will act as a shield. After 6-8 levels, your cannon will become invisible and the Galaxians will appear at random.
