When I released Laser Blaster<\/i>, I made the classic mistake of only testing it in an emulator on my PC. After its debut at Atariada, I got some really nice emails, but I also received bug reports that the game crashes when switching between the title screen and the gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finally got around to connecting my real Atari to my PC to troubleshoot. I found the issue, fixed the code, and even redesigned the in-game logo\u2014the original looked a bit “off” on real hardware compared to the emulator screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Previous version runs using emulator without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
