Unused Music#

A rendition of the 20th Century Fox fanfare is included in the game's sound data, but it is not played anywhere during gameplay. It seems that the 20th Century Fox logo may have been intended to appear in the game but was removed very late during development.

This is only heard in the sound test and was meant to play before you start a stage. Replaced by Meet The Alien.

Hidden Mission Type#

The mission type Escape is not used anywhere in any stage.

Hidden Text#

This text is stored at the beginning of the ROM, right above the ROM header.
