== Correction ==
For the Madballs game, the edition AA published in issue 63 of Type-ins is a very substancial game comprising of 3 Levels as well as 3 Difficulty Settings, unfortunately after large amount of playing, it reaches a Memory Full error:

The error is occurring due to some uses of GOSUB which led to a Subroutines which may or may not find a RETURN. It's when it's not finding the RETURN is the problem due to some IF statements which become TRUE, once those are TRUE they essentually do a GOTO in the form of IF <statement=true> THEN <Line number>, never to be able to recover from it such as if the player loses a life. From there an area of memory &1FF in size starting at &AE8C on a 464 or &AE70 on 6128 which fills due to further GOSUB routines being used and RETURNs not found. In this game though the whole process takes 20-25 minutes.
 
For the new version in the Downloads area, Subroutines which led to other parts of the game and in parts where a FOR loop is used with Keypress check within which then goes somewhere else (GOTO) have been either removed or altered, creating a stable version of the game. No enhancements (graphics) or alterations (mazes) of the original game have been made.
