What happens after level six of Midnight Magic?

In the Atari 2600 game Midnight Magic, the board starts out as pink. if you hit all five of the colored bars at the top, the board changes to a navy blue (the color of the leftmost bar). If you then hit all of the colored bars, the board turns red (the color of the second bar), and so on.

I have always wondered what happens if you get to the point where the board is light blue (the color of the rightmost bar) and hit all of the bars. Unfortunately I have never been able to find out first-hand because the game gets harder with each level.

Does anyone know?

Solution 1:

The screen goes black and you need to reset the console. I did this once as a kid and remember being very disappointed that there wasn't an ending to it.
