Hidden Credit

At 0x028AC3 in the ROM is the following string:

(C) 1992 Basement Boys Software

Basement Boys Software was a group that made hacking tools for the Commodore 64 in the mid-to-late 80s. Some of its members later moved on to Chip Level Designs, who provided sound programming in several SNES games. The same credit appears in Bubsy.

Regional Differences

US	Europe

The intro bottle is different between US and Europe versions. This is because 7-Up's mascot wasn't Spot in Europe, but rather Fido Dido as Pepsi owns 7-Up in Europe.
