Some text towards the end of DATA resource 0:
Congratulations, you have found
the secret message!
You know that women never really faint,
And that villians always blink their eyes,
And that, you know, children aren't the
only ones who blush,
And that life is just a die...
-Lou Reed, Sweet Jane
Special thanks to the Beta Testers
who gave me just enough encouragement...

Having since learned that Yahtzee was a trademark of Hasbro, Brad Morris changed all of his game's mentions of the word "Yahtzee" without having to be asked.
...Unfortunately, that didn't stop him from receiving a cease-and-desist letter on October 20, 1992 concerning the original release, which had continued to circulate beyond his control—sometimes alongside its successor, since the different name made it seem like a distinct product. (At right is the Yahtzee folder from the 1995 shareware compilation CD Fun House 10.1. Note that Super Dice-It is the only title that doesn't use "Yahtzee".)
The v1.1 Read Me also lists these improvements:
- Fixed sound channel allocation bug.
- Fixed sound drop out problem when multiple keys are pressed at once.
- Changed color graphics (made them more System 7 like).
- Fixed Dice-It bonus bug.
- Made windows remember their position.
- Change who is playing from radio buttons for number to checkboxes.
- Added custom balloon help system.
- Made upper bonus fill in when the player gets 63 or above.
- Made Dice-It bonus fill in with zero when the player places a zero in a Dice-It space.
