Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: This is probably just scraping the surface. Someone more familiar with the game should probably investigate further.

A prototype of Gods dated September 10, 1992.

  • A hidden credit is present at 0x7FC0. It was removed from the final ROM:
