NIGHT DRIVER

There's 4 pots on the board, but the (rev 1) manual only describes the purpose of R111 - volume. R11 also seems to be involved with the digital speed info (pg. 28 of manual). R14 is shown having a 100k pot in the schematic (picture #1) and is labeled as a speed adjustment (in regards to the top speed?). R14, R15, and R43 are shown in the board layout as having resistors (picture #2), but the board has pots in those locations (picture #3). The resistor to the right of the 8-pin IC at A5 is listed as being 10K in the schematics but it looks like 15K from the photo. The schematic also shows 3 of those same ICs (A5, A6, and A7), but the board doesn't show one at A6.

BUG: After 300 points you are awarded bonus time, but the score wraps around back to zero at 1,000 points so it is possible to reach 300 points more than once. The expert setting is actually the easiest once a player has mastered the game.

RUMOR: Was programmed by Ted Michon and was first released by a small company named Micronetics, and later picked up by Atari.  Any proof of this?
