In Millipede for the Atari 2600, you can start at a score of either 0, 15,000, OR 30,000 in this 1984 game. Why? What's the logic behind this? Is it the only game in history where you select your score?

It's just being like the arcade game, where you can start at a higher level.

Starting at a higher level would be fine, but keeping the score at zero should have done.
