Asteroids software includes a new feature allowing the
selection of EASY gameplay (original) versus HARD gameplay.
This implementation is a result of merging the original
Atari Asteroids software with a previously rare Atari Asteroids
release.
This later Asteroids release changed the game software in order
to make the gameplay more difficult.
The Asteroids Multigame allows selection of either difficulty level.

Atari released a 2nd version of Asteroids Deluxe which had easier
gameplay (probably due to complaints).
In that revision they added a DIP switch setting allowing
selection of the original (hard) gameplay or the new (easy)
version.
This kit is based off the 2nd release and allows selection of
EASY or HARD gameplay via the
setup menu.

Fixes the Asteroids "missing last letter on the 10th score" bug.
There is a bug in the Atari REV2 code whereby every time you
