On every disk for the game (for example, at hex address 4D124 on the first disk), the following Shift-JIS encoded message can be seen. This hidden message was written by the port's programmer, Koichi "Joker Kid" Hatakeyama. "Kurata" refers to Yoshihiko Kurata, and "Takeshi Matumuro" should be Tsuyoshi Matsumuro; Hatakeyama likely knew his coworker's kanji name but simply guessed the wrong pronunciation when typing it out in English for the credits.

Joker Kid Message: Kurata, are you watching? I'm doing great! I'm looking forward to that X68000 software.
Hashimoto-san, I managed to get the MSX2 port done somehow! I think it turned out pretty well, but what do you think? I look forward to your continued success!
