The game has a Test Menu that can be accessed by modifying the state for the next state transition.

The state machine is located at E800:0000 and is called at F000:017D. Setting a breakpoint at either address and modifying the state byte value at DS:0208 to 0x82 and continuing execution will place the game into the Test Menu.

There are two tests: Sound (0E) and Graphics (0F), while the remaining selection from 00 up to 0D will place the game state into Story Mode.
