Australian Rugby League

To do: This page needs to seriously be rewritten by someone who knows how these games work; a lot of the text below are /symbols/ that refer to /code that's still in the ROM/

EA takes their shaky first steps from Union to League, shifting focus from the Rugby World Cup to the State of Origin. Now, there is some international content here, but the focus is mainly antipodean to be sure.

Unused Text#

At the beginning of the ROM, there is text for the usual error messages when a game is played in a different region, even if American version would be played on a European or Australian system, even though the game was only released in Europe and Australia.

DEVELOPED FOR USE ONLY WITH
SYSTEMS.
NTSC MEGA DRIVE
NTSC GENESIS
PAL AND FRENCH SECAM MEGA DRIVE

At the very end of the text, a small message from the programmer can be found.

Dave Was Here!

The game has a whole lot of development text left in the ROM, a few strings referencing debug features can be found.

debug_halt
Debug_Player
Test Debug
Board Anims

An error message is repeated multiple times in the ROM.

NO MEM SLOTS
OUT OF MEMORY
BAD BLOCK

Leftover text from whatever the game was made in can be found all over the ROM, mostly snippets of these two. For some reason Nintendo is mentioned here, even though there was no version made on any Nintendo systems.
