Hmmm...
To do:
  • There's apparently unused code.
  • There is an undumped and possibly unreleased Rev 1 ROM in the 2020-07-24 leaked ROM archive

It's Othello.

Credits

There are some minor tweaks between the NES, Famicom, and Disk System versions of Othello's credits:

  • The Famicom version's text is pink, while the NES/Disk System versions are grey.
  • The NES version lacks the HAL Laboratory logo in the upper-right corner.
  • The hearts on each end of the STAFF text were replaced with Copyright symbols on the NES version.
