Xari Arena 8-25-83
The version is similar to the more well known 10-30 prototype,
but still has some minor differences. The most notable
change is that the computer AI is still being worked on and isn't
nearly as competent as it is in the later version. For
example, the AI will never use a fire extinguisher in this
prototype, but will in later versions. Other than the more
simplistic AI, there appear to be minor code changes behind the
scenes that aren't visible in the gameplay.
It appears that the label was originally for the 6-24-83
version of Xari Arena

There is no Trak-Ball support
|
The computer AI isn't quite as good
|
This version has a special message at the end of
the game after beating all 32 waves, congratulating them
and telling the player to send a picture of the end screen
to John at Atari. This message was taken out of the
final version for some reason. |
Looks like the final version...

Getting pretty intense, maybe use
an extinguisher?
|
Surely now is a good time to use an
extinguisher?
|
I'm begging you, use an extinguisher!
