The ColecoVision Galaxian is another one of those then-rather-common instances of console developers making games for each others' systems.
Hidden Text#
The "ColecoVision presents" screen text at 0x24 is both unused and contains a rather unusual message and copyright date:
SYSTEM CRASH
IN SECTOR 84
2045
A programmer's note is hidden in the ROM at 0x302:
GRAPHICS AND PROGRAM BY JAMES D. EISENSTEIN
08/11/83
DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE
The identity of "the one" is at 0x4645:
I LOVE YOU, JENEANE
