Trivia
In reference to the C64 version, the PC copy protection was similarly legendary--96 sector headers on track 15 took a long time to figure out and duplicate.

One of the first products from a newly founded Electronic Arts, designed by company creator Trip Hawkins and programmed by Eric Hammond. This game became a smash hit on the Commodore 64, where its complicated copy-protection became famous not only with hackers intent on breaking it, but with users who had to listen to it tear their old behemouth 1541 floppy drives a new one. This was also the first computer game with celebrity endorsements. The concept was created by Hawkins based on his recollections of the 60's era "One on One" televised sports contests, sponsored by hair tonic Vitalis.
