Better yet, buy a multigame from Clay! You'll get the same upgrade + some additional goodies! I am assuming that when you switch from player one to player two, you have this implosion issue. What happens is that there are no vectors on the bottom of the screen. The sopt killer trips and begins to shut your display down (as it should). Later ROM revisions have copyright info on the bottom of the screen that prevent this from happening.
