Rusty (ラスティ) is a Castlevania clone for the PC-9800 series, starring a dominatrix named Rustea Sprincul.

Unused Text

A few plot-relevant bosses late in the game have some dialogue before you fight them, but the first boss has some unused speech as well. It appears starting at 0x4503 in ENEMY1.COM:

Original	Translation
私の名は「サンダークラップ」 我ら獣魔族に逆らう輩を 征伐するのが私の役目・・・ 覚悟なさい！！	My name is Thunderclap. It is my duty to punish any who dare stand against us monsters.... Prepare yourself!!

(Translation: kuoushi)

Anti-Piracy Screen

There's an anti-piracy message featuring Mayor Santos found in SONTYO.MAG. It's currently unknown how to trigger it in-game. The grey streaks trailing the text are used in other images to create motion, so presumably the text would move when the screen is encountered in-game.

Original	Translation
謎の村長！！ コピーするとは 　　　　　けしからん！！	Mysterious Mayor!! Don't copy that floppy!!

(Translation: kuoushi)

Hidden Message

There's a small message in JO.EXE, at 0x7aa5.

Original	Translation
奈緒猫さんだよん	It's me! Naoneko!

(Translation: kuoushi)

Additionally, in OP.COM at 0x2d9 there's another message:

Original	Translation
おなかすいちゃったなぁ:-)	I'm hungry :-)
