Prototype
Differences
|
| The font for the copyright is different. It's smaller and the I in Atari isn't capitalized. |
|
Missing Elmer's house at the top of the screen |
|
You
cannot steal Elmer's bullets in this version (they
don't exist!)
|
| Likewise the glowing bonus carrots are missing due to the inability to steal bullets |
|
The hole size is
not selectable
|
| This version contains a bonus timer which is displayed in the lower left corner. After the hound finds you, the timer starts to slowly count down until you jump in the hole. This determines how many bonus points you get for completing that level. |
|
The
intermission between levels is missing the hound
chasing Bugs with Elmer.
|
| The animation and sounds when Bugs misses the hole are shorter and different. |
| The scoring in this version is much lower. The top row is worth 3 points, the middle 2, and the bottom is only worth 1 point. |
| Extra lives are acquired at 100 points instead of 1000. |
| There are safe zones on the extreme left and right sides of the screen where Elmer can't hit you. In the later version the safe zone on the far right has been removed and the safe zone on the left only exists on the lowest level. |
|
Even though Bob Polaro and Allen
Murphy's initials appear in the code, they cannot be
triggered.
|
| The left difficulty switch affects how fast Bugs moves in this version. The right difficulty switch does nothing. |
| Elmer's bullets will travel to the bottom of the screen instead of stopping at the level you're on. |
| The holes and shadow under Bug's feet are brown instead of black |
| Each of the levels has a brown line under the green grass giving them an illusion of depth |
|
Be very quiet. I'm hunting wabbits!
|
Eek! You got me Doc!
|
|
He's rounding third and sliding into home!
|
Maybe if they had made levels a bit taller Bugs could actually stand up!
