Unused Level Text

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Is there any remnant of Peter's Level 4?

Setting 002D:0C and 0532:01 will access an unfinished driving level, "Wall Street", with glitched graphics which ends immediately. Using 002D:0C and 0532:02 will access another unfinished driving level, "Water Front".

LEVEL 1
LEVEL 2
LEVEL 3
LEVEL 4

In addition, these level labels (intended, apparently, for the on-foot obstacle course levels) are unused, in preference to just displaying the current team member's name. In accordance with the text order in the ROM, apparently Wall Street would have been placed after the Railway level, and Water Front would have assumedly been used after an unused Level 4 with Peter, which wasn't even started and will not load (the game goes to a Statue of Liberty shooter sequence after the Railway level / Level 3, the level text for which is placed late in the game's text block). It's possible, given the placement in the film's story, that Level 4 would have been Venkman trying to get to Dana Barrett's apartment.

NAME

This also seemingly would have shown before a Ghostbuster's name was displayed.
