Actually all ROMs released on cart for the Atari 2600 should better be free of bugs.

Mostly.

I would guess almost every Atari ROM has or had a bug shipped. But fortunately those bugs are just minor ones.

Credit where credit is due - I got the idea for this episode from jaybird3rd's status update from yesterday.

 

After re-reading it, I liked his original quote "Developers will be instructed to create bug-free games. Period." better than the line I used, "The programmers just have to make sure their games are 100% bug-free." So I changed it. It sounds more arrogant, which is more in keeping with the vibe of the RVGS (if you don't see the new line, refresh the page).

A bug-fix, as it were.

Wow! I'm happy to have provided some inspiration! That probably wasn't an exact quote (I don't remember how they phrased it in their original Facebook post), but as you say, I wanted to capture their crazy arrogance, and maybe amplify it just a little bit.

That's pretty-much what satire is, right there.

That's awesome. A program that failed to do nothing.

Simple as that.
