On one side o" the screen' co/pter progra//ing langage is being

si/lation o" a "igre' in response to the progra//ing. radally

toards the /an4li1e "igre and is rotated into position above it.

%s the voice reaches the "inal ord' the dis1 is sla//ed into placeon the bac1 o" the "igre. There is an e5plosion o" colored light'

a resonding crash o" M:S-# and the title appears across the top o"
