"Maze Craze" was one of the better examples of the Atari "multiple games" schtick.

Remember Atari's marketing on games? ZOMG 62 VARIATIONS OF ASTEROIDS ON ONE CARTRIDGE! Then you find out half of those are two player versions, half of those are speed variations, and maybe there are really only 4 ACTUAL variations on game play. It was so awesome.

Air Sea Battle probably had the worst.  Bomber vs three jets?

What sucked ass was having to "flip" through n variations before getting to the n+1th. And if you went too fast you'd have to cycle through again.

Of course, which was worse? That or Cheetahman?

That was Combat thank you very much.  I actually found that bomber vs 3 jets to be useful as a handicap when playing against your parents or some other unskilled adversary. :)

PL1:

Two Dig Dug screenshots for anyone wondering about the teddy bear levels.

The first with the bear (bottom, just right of center) and easier opponents.

The second without the bear and normal opponents.
