You mean when they upgraded to the 5200? I thought that was so they could add the track ball for Centipede :)

They were getting their butt greased by Commodore with that game, and Beachhead for the C64, so they upgraded to get extra color and slightly more memory.
Added trackball support as well.
And then Commodore's Administration lost sight of what they were there to do, and couldn't market water to a thirsty man in the middle of a desert.
So they went belly up.
