General Differences

• The opening FMV now has its music start at the Traveller's Tales logo, and its palette now changes when called for, but the screen height is still 160 pixels, is a bit faster than in 94, and has one extra frame before the title screen.
• The music doesn't stop if the opening is skipped.
• The title screen matches the final, but lacks the trademark.
• No sound effect plays when the title screen pops up.
• All demos have been implemented.
• Level select is disabled by default; The final code has been implemented.
• The good ending still plays the credits music throughout, but its entirety has now been implemented.
