Anti-Piracy

The game normally does not contain any SRAM, but still checks for it when starting a new game by writing two byte values to the address $701000. On original cartridges, the write will do nothing. If the write was successful (likely if a cartridge copier was used), the game restarts, preventing the player from actually being able to play the game.
