01.09.2024 - Sprite Expand Bug in Defender for C64 by AtariSoft - video by '8-Bit Show And Tell'
The official Defender game cartridge for the Commodore 64 by AtariSoft from 1983, by Joe Simko, has an amusing super-sized bug. If you hit the Restore key just as your ship's explosion reaches its peak, when you play your next life, your ship, the alien enemies, and the humans you're Defending are all jumbo-sized. This is due to a minor initialization bug in the original 6502 code. After a BASIC demonstration of the VIC-II's sprite expansion capabilities, we discuss the CRT image emulator format and how we can examine it on a real C64, and then use the Super Snapshot machine language monitor to track down the cause of the bug and fix it.
