All this talk about enhancing the INV game got me wondering: In the original Atari "Space Invaders" game: sometimes the invaders would explode when you hit them and sometimes they would just dissapear. I never found a pattern to it. Does anyone know why this happens? Note: I usually played by holding the "game start" switch down as I turn the game on, so I get two shots at a time rather than one. Maybe that has something to do with it? By the way: Why does that "game start" trick work? Anyone ever look at the Space Invaders code to see why?
