This game has a hidden developer message. This game has hidden developer credits. This game has unused graphics.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: Apparently there are unused status bar face graphics that need to be ripped. RAM address $704 controls the current status bar face; valid values are multiples of 2 in the range of 00 - 38.

The SNES port of Doom should have been an impossibility. Should.

Programmer Messages

Present at ROM address 0x80810E:

Rage/Reality Engine written by Randy Linden.
Special thanks to my loving wife, Jodi Harvey.

Also, the Episode 1 sky texture (stored as an uncompressed 8bpp graphic at 0x8000) contains an additional message that is not actually visible in game without somehow clipping outside of the boundaries of the map:

Uncompiled Code

A small amount of uncompiled source code can be found in the data for several music tracks. This is only visible in SPC RAM after the data has been decompressed from ROM.
