That's what the technician said about the proto-type roms, but when we had a
Ham radio friend listen to the prototype (who's very good with morse code),
all it was saying was "C-I-N-E-M-A-T-R-O-N-I-C-S" over and over in *really
bad* morse code. I guess the spacing between characters was awful.

We didn't have the real ROMs at the time, so maybe the ones that were
released say "Atari Sucks!" anybody know morse code that owns an Armor Attack?
