The title screen spells the title as “Midnite Magic” (picture #2).

The score rolls over at 1 million.  The whole screen flashes for a few seconds at that point.

BUG: There's a high score rollover bug that can wipe out your final score.  If you roll over the score counter, you have a short period after the last ball with the actual score, then suddenly the text “HIGH SCORE” displays and the score is updated to the score that started the last ball before the rollover, if it was higher than the final score.  For example, if you start ball 2 with 900,000 and then roll the score counter at 1 million, your final score will only show the last 6 digits of your score.  After a few seconds, the text “HIGH SCORE” will be displayed and the score will be changed to 900,000 (the score you had before starting with ball 2 - the ball that you rolled the score with.  The text “HIGH SCORE” text never displays unless the score rolls over.  {Scott Tyrrell}
