TOUCAN'S
TRIVIA: The
Manual for Star Trek, that was released by Texas Instruments,
actually
has the picture flipped around. If you look at it, the laser beam being
shot at the USS Enterprise is coming from the right hand side of the
manual,
in all other versions of the game it comes from the left (such as in
the Atari
5200 version). If one looks more closely at the manual, you will
be
able to see that it is not just the laser coming from the opposite
side,
but the entire picture that is flipped around! As to why this happened,
I don't know. Maybe TI thought the picture looked better this way?
It is interesting to note that the TI-99/4A 2Q/1983 3rd Party Sega
version
of this game has a manual with the picture in the correct position, so
it was obviously something TI altered for their release of the game
which came out a few months later. |
