Atari VCS 2600 Super Football - 77-9
   An excellent (pseudo) 1st-person perspective of the game, and easily the best version of football for the system, though aside from the excellent graphics, it’s still less-than-super as far as being realistic to the rules of football (only 5 players per side, no stopping the clock, no running out...

Atari 8-bit Clowns Balloons (Datasoft) - slowdown glitch
   rdquo; BUG: The game will sometimes slow down right before the score counter shows 50,000. You’ll clear a screen of balloons and suddenly the music will start playing slower and the balloons will move slower. If you can clear this screen of balloons, the game will revert back to normal speed....

Atari 8-bit Pooyan (DataSoft) - scoring counter glitch
   The score counter becomes corrupted when you reach 1 million points. In my game, the score counter was 998,350 when I hit 3 consecutive balloons (with meat) for 2,800 points (plus another 200 for shooting a balloon). The first balloon hit (400 points) bumps the score counter to 998,750. The next 2...

Atari 8-bit Super Zaxxon (Sega) - dragon glitch
   If you can evade the dragon’s fireball long enough, it’ll disappear, at which point the game “hangs” because you can’t kill the dragon and it won’t fire another fireball. See the Easter egg entry at Atari Compendium for more information: http: www.ataricompendium...

Atari VCS 2600 and 5200 commercial - Kangaroo
   Port by General Computer Corporation of the 1982 Sun Electronics arcade game that could have been better. There’s no opening animation, intermissions, or boxing ape, and the 3rd screen doesn’t have the branch that breaks (from too many monkeys hanging from it). GCC basically "phoned in"...
