Rambo: First Blood Part II (Commodore 64)

This version of Rambo: First Blood Part II is a Commando clone in which Rambo must shoot every enemy soldier in his way and rescue American POWs. Find them... or he'll find you.

Hidden Message#

At the start of the music for the game's loader, a Morse code message plays in SID voice 1 which names the game's developers. However, it includes a typo where every instance of the letter "I" is missing a dot and thus transmitted as the letter "E". The tone also changes pitch twice when the music does.

Composer Martin Galway, who wrote a Morse code program to write this message, attributes the typo to a software bug in a message to the HVSC:

I wrote that morse [sic] code program myself. Nobody touched it but me. It was written to handle any text. And I spelt the text right! So - if you're right - the problem must have been the software. I'm assuming my morsecode [sic] book was right of course ;)
