GATO 6/23/87
There has been some minor cosmetic work done on this prototype since
the 6/11/87 version, but not much. The guages on the periscope screen
have been changed to match the coloring that we see in the last known
version, and the radar screen background has changed significantly.
There is a hidden message in the rom code that says:
GATO, The Atari 7800 Version by Jack Sandberg, Sr. Software Engineer,
ibid inc., West Hartford, CT., Ver. 1.0 04/24/87 -- Security String
Do Not Remove"
