[[Image:Row of bombs.png|right|frame|This is a screenshot from an ([[Emulator|emulated]]) [[Atari ST]], the four bombs indicate that the system error "Illegal Instruction" has occurred.]]
[[Atari TOS|TOS]]-based systems, such as the [[Atari ST]], used a '''row of bombs''' to indicate a critical system error. The number of bombs displayed revealed information about the occurred error. The error (also called an ''[[Exception handling|exception]]'') is reported by the [[Motorola 68000]] [[microprocessor]]. The very first version of TOS used [[mushroom cloud]]s which was quickly changed, as it was considered [[Political correctness|politically incorrect]].{{citation}}
