Trivia

Atari 8-bit "port"

In the late 1980's, certain software pirates in Poland sold a fake Atari 8-bit version of Rambo. The supposed "game" consisted solely of a screen that asked the hopeful player to "enter password"—of course, no matter what was entered, nothing would happen. In the November 1988 issue of the magazine "Bajtek", an unfortunate player asks for help with the "game" (p. 19 — translation follows):

I'm in trouble, because I don't know the code to run the Atari XL version of the game "RAMBO". I've typed in almost half of the Polish-English dictionary, with no effect.
