DynaMike is a puzzle game where you have to defuse bombs by changing blocks' colors so that the left image matches the right one, which must be done against a timer and in a given number of moves. To help, you can undo your previous move a certain number of times in each puzzle.

Of course, it's not that easy. Blocks change colors in a set order, but changing one also changes those around it in a + shape. Further, the last color of the sequence is a blank space, but blank spaces can be changed into blocks.

While the game was developed in 1999, it ended up not seeing the light of day until early 2003 (specific date uncertain, but no later than April 8) when it was released for free on the developer's website, alongside an unfinished build of the also-scrapped SNES title Corn Buster. It can be downloaded here, via Internet Archive.

RAM Contents in Uninitialized Memory

Likely as a result of not initializing memory, the ROM contains some leftovers from what the developer was doing at the time the game was properly built.

Starting at 0x6089 is a file list from the developer's PC:

At 0x7000 a portion of an HTML file begins, and...um: 

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Big Tittied Brunette with Pink Pussy Pal</TITLE>

Yes, you read that correctly. The full text won't be reproduced here since the file includes links to a number of adult websites that we'd rather not advertise (especially since, given that this game is over 20 years old, a number of them may not exist anymore and could redirect to spam, viruses, spyware, malware, etc.). That aside, enough of the site's HTML is present that it can be displayed in a web browser (minus the images), as can be seen below:

I have *several* questions

The below file contains the HTML code, including a JPEG thumbnail that was caught in the ROM at 0xA000:

While the Internet Archive does have copies of the full webpage and nearly all of the missing images, we won't be linking to them for obvious reasons.
