Editor note

Leiterman refers to the emulation community as pirates. What a list of ironies. He has only published what he's gotten permission to from Infogrames due to a 20-year-old non-disclosure agreement with Atari. Yet he praises people who have illegally published proprietary Atari technical manuals and information. And he boasts basing his carrier on ripping other people's art and code. It seems he indented the ROMs of this game only to work on a real 4-port 5200. The NDA expired in March 2004? No further information has been found.
