Internal binary codes reveals this message; " 1984 designer software bill bogenreif 6". (See it at $AFD8 to $AFFF.) One can only speculate that this meant that Atari bought this version from some outside source, rather than program it themselves?

Trivia
This is one of only two 8k games by Atari; the rest were all 16k. There doesn't seem to be any date-related pattern to explain it. I imagine they weren't as worried about saving $ on memory chips and just used up whatever memory they felt they a game needed.

Trivia
I have no idea why they waited this long for this cart to be made in the first place. Galaxian was popular for years before they got around to releasing a version. And when they did, apparently it was written by someone outside the company. Why? I can imagine that the "gaming crash" left Atari internally disorganized. So other reports have indicated. This cart and Jungle Hunt are the only two cartridge titles to have been released with an onscreen date of "1984", even though internal messages sometimes date the games well into December of 1983 or even into January 1984. Not even Commodore released any carts beyond 1983; they shifted to the C64 and so did the rest of the marketplace. This definitely helps to explain why Galaxian is such a hard cart to find!
