b*nQ

According to programmer Ken Siders, a hidden feature using the PAUSE button changes the title screen to Q*bert (picture #1).  From Siders: "When you are turning the 7800 on, if you pause to think about it a little, then once you start a game, if you do the right thing, it should not be too difficult to make a change."

Hold PAUSE and RESET when powering up game.  Coily will turn into a new character called Al*bertha.  Al*bertha is homage to Q*bertha from FHMC Q*bert.  Q*Bertha can flip cube colors back and fix cubes that have been turned into rainbow cubes.

According to programmer Ken Siders, a 3rd hidden feature exists: “Try finishing in last place (a few times) with a SaveKey/AtariVox attached.

The high score initials entry screen includes some messages:

“MISS ALBERTHA WANTS TO MEET YA” (picture #2)

“PAUSE ON THE BALL BOUNCE HOMEY” (picture #3)
