Development Structures#

At 0x00AE41 follows the specific game initialization structure common for many Tarantula's games. The structure contains a list of RAM addresses of internal game variables, each followed by the list of its bit-flags or values along with its internal ASCII names. These names are just for readability purposes of the game sources and just skipped by the game itself while it runs this list and sets the according variables at the game's initialization.

For this particular game the list of settings is listed below.

• For RAM address $FFBF (internal game settings)
  • "No key skip" (bit.4 set)
  • "Language select" (bit.5 set)
  • "Copyright scr" (bit.6 set
• For RAM address" $C227
  • "Sound On/Off" (value $FF set)
