I know this may sound odd, especially since it concerns a game.  But I've
noticed some behavior that intrigues me; specifically:

1) I bought a "boot-up" game called Batman from Data East.
2) I own an A1000, so the problem/behavior may only occur on these machines
  (requiring to boot with Kickstart)
3) You boot up with the game, no problem.
4) When you give the Amiga the 3-finger reset/salute, the workbench picture
does NOT reappear.  Apparently the game does SOMETHING to the OS.

My question is this:  what specific things/events are being sabotaged
(probably) so that you have to TURN OFF the machine and restart with Kickstart?
If this is peculiar to A1000 machines, I'd like to know why/how/etc. as well.

Thanks in advance...

P.S. If any of this seems vague, it's because I want it that way.  I'd like
to get as many different explanations as possible.  Also, upon resetting the
Amiga, if no disk is inserted, the disk drive just spins incessantly.
