- For most games, a hard reset is the only way of stopping the game if
- RUN-Stop/RESTORE doesn't work. It doesn't completely clear memory,
- just resets the end of BASIC POINTERS and places a 0 at 2049. If you
- have a doc with cheats on them, it should tell you of the proper way to
- restart the program. Some cheats require a Super Snapshot cart to
- work.
