Bionic Breakthrough 6-22-84
This is believed to be the later version of the two known
Bionic Breakthrough prototypes, but without a date on the other
prototype it's impossible to know for sure. Although it
lacks the fancier title screen on the undated version, it has
more refinements such as a new font (replacing the older blocky
original font), and fixes the paddle flicker issue on variations
8 and 9. Interestingly this version uses the right
joystick port instead of the left and will actually freeze up if
a joystick is plugged into the left port. The earlier
version did not do this. This version also shows all the
variations as being one player even though several support two
players.
