The game is a tour de force by Atari; unfortunately it is in classic
Atari style: it is designed so you cannot "master" it and play indefinitely.
In fact, this machine is an incredible coin hog.  Here in C-U you pay
one token for 600 health, which maybe lasts 2 minutes (or as little as
a couple seconds) on levels below 8 where you are getting random levels
from the same set of 20 or so.  It is a blast to play 4 player, but you
run out of tokens in a hurry.
