    Activison games do. Like Freeway or Fishing Derby.

    Color-cycling was eliminated when newer games required more memory to do advanced tricks. And so the color-cycling routine had to be deleted.


    it seems it's mostly Atari-made games from 1977-1983 that do it (1983-1984 games were mostly developed at GCC).
    What's GCC?
