This trick only works when you're going the correct speed (usually your third or fourth jump), and only once (as far as I can tell) per ramp session per level. ----------- Afterburner ----------- (Contributor: Anthony D.

Army Battlezone (Atari, 1980/1981)
Submitted by Unknown
"Army Battlezone remains a mystery, even to those of us who worked on it." Editor's Notes: I recently had the privilege of discussing Atari history with a member of Atari's development team. This individual worked at Atari for a period of several years, including the "Golden Age", and was a major contributor on many of the classics we've come to know know and love. A note of thanks to him, not just for the information on these pages, but for hours of fun in the arcades.

After much practice, I have achieved reasonable proficiency at Star Wars. A week ago I set a new personal high score of 15 million and change on Wave 56. It took an hour and 45 minutes!

A Tale of Joust
By Steve Weinrich
Here's the deal.
I bought a Joust cabinet at the April USAA auction in NJ. It wouldn't fire up when I plugged it in during the preview period, so I took a quick peek inside through the coindoor. No boards! The wiring harness was there, and the screws that used to hold the boards in place were just sitting at the bottom of the cabinet. When it came up for sale, I decided to just go for it and bought it as a project.
Once I got it home, I got an email from someone indicating
