Here's how Owen Rubin, creator of
Major Havoc and many other Atari
games added his 25¢
to Battlezone:
"I shared a lab at
Atari with Ed Rotberg, who was
working on Battlezone in 1980. I
kept pestering him about the volcano
in the backdrop, asking him when he
was going to add code to make it
erupt. Ed's response was, "I'm
trying to make a game here! I don't
have time for that" or something
along those lines. But I kept at
him. Finally, he told me, "Look. If
you want the volcano to erupt, write
the damn code yourself!" So I did
:)"
