Notes
TypeText
Easter EggsAn easter egg was implemented in the game but disabled in the official version. To reactivate it, modify address $e2d1 to instruction LD A,$7F instead of RET/NOP (i.e POKE 58065,62: POKE 58066,127). Afterwards, if you hold keys J and B (Jim Bagley initials) right after loading the game, the main character will walk into the screen and take a piss out of Operation Wolf.
