I was talking with a cinematronics employee who told me that they had tried
to replicate the space wars explosion and couldn't even though they had
the exact same circuit. Finally someone looked at a space wars sound
board and discovered that one transistor was put in backwards intentionally
to get that fine "quality". Not sure if this is legend and since I don't
have a space wars sound board to check, well, I'll leave it up to someone
more motivated than I.. :)
