The Bounty

The Bounty
Developer: Orca Publisher: Orca Platform: Arcade (Orca Zodiack hardware) Released internationally: May 1982 This game has hidden development-related text.

The Bounty is a fairly unremarkable entry in the boat-driving action genre. Honestly, it's just impressive that orcas know how to code at all.

Filler Text

The first bit of filler text is from an unknown debugging program. It is present in the main CPU, starting in memory at 0x3CE3:

 'PC

  I IF
   BC 
   DE 
   HL 
  A'F'
  B'C'
  D'E'

SWBP ENCOUNTERED  
HWBP ENCOUNTERED  
TIMER BREAK ENCOUNTERED  
ILLEGAL ACCESS ENCOUNTERED  
ILLEGAL WRITE ENCOUNTERED  
ESCAPE ENCOUNTERED

The second chunk, which is stored in the graphics ROM at 0x1F75, seems to be from a compiler:
