Unused Text

This copyright is sprinkled throughout the US version ROM, first occurring at 0x8:

(C) COPYRIGHT 1988 RARE LTD. ENGLAND.

At 0x7F90 and many other places:

PAUL.P & RACHEL.M.E

The same names or initials can be found in other games by the same developing team from Rare: California Games and Wizards & Warriors, as well as the same names often mentioned in the default records table for these games and in the Wheel of Fortune series.

The initials stand for Paul Proctor and Rachel M. Edwards, the game developers.

In the European version, only this string exists:
