Atarisoft games paused by spacebar!

Post by eslapion »

I just made an interesting accidental discovery.

All VIC-20 Atarisoft cart based games can be paused by pressing the spacebar.

Did I just discover something everyone else already knew about?

These games include:
- Centipede
- Donkey Kong
- Galaxian
- Jungle Hunt
- Moon Patrol
- Ms Pacman
- Pacman
- Pole Position

Well you know that is funny! I remember pressing the space bar by accident on one of those games, I think it was Centipede ? and the game paused, but I thought it was just a feature they added for that game. But you have found it on all the others you have listed... Interesting!

and clearly I must remember to read the manual! :lol:
