[1] Stampede is a left-to-right horizontally scrolling action game with a cattle round-up theme.

According to David Yancey, there is a bug which makes it so that the game will typically only allow the player to play in a loop for eight play throughs; apparently, however, there is a version of the game with a different binary which allows one to continue to accrue points until the score 99,999 is reached.

[3] Stampede was favorably reviewed in 1982 by Video magazine where it was described as a "thrilling representation of rope ridin'" boasting "charming visuals".

[5] In 1983, Video Games stated that the Intellivision version of Stampede was easier than the difficult Atari 2600 original with identical graphics.

[6] Danny Goodman of Creative Computing Video & Arcade Games was surprised that the Intellivision version's graphics "were scarcely more detailed than their Atari ancestors".
