The title is a bit of a clickbait because that's an old discussion and the answer has been given, but I just found it and thought I'd share...

Two things stand out to me, either a front 3/4 perspective of a mouse with its cable coming out of the front or a winding path towards the sunset. I think the latter is the more likely of the two.
If you don't accept the official explanation then I think 'sperm' is the closest you can get :D
hmm, looking at it in context and with the right aspect ratio though, it really seems like either mushroom cloud or lightning cloud are what's intended. The other characters around it are clearly for character-based games and it'd make sense...

The hint *really* is in the thread :D
Crazy, I always thought that this is a trampoline, as I was thinking about platformers at this time back in the 80ies :D
Pretty sure it's actually a fish guys :-X

Well that was a time where we could see a boob in a 4x4 grid, so...

That was in level 1, in level 2 I'm pretty sure it was a caterpillar :D

That was the meaning of the post :D
Oh, haha. I actually just looked it up in my physical copy of the firmware manual before noticing Gryzor's post (and of course, I didn't read the thread either!)
Can confirm it's "Bomb" in my copy too!
Should probably check the others too. e.g. what they said was explosion (EE) is actually "Star"
Wait! What was a "bomb"? #FD or #FC?

No, I was asking because the thread was about #FD but you mentioned "bomb" which is #FC...
