Commodore VIC-20

Amazing Maze

· HIDDEN MESSAGE: The message “THE NEXT SOUND THAT YOU HEAR, WILL BE THAT OF YOUR LOGIC BOARD MELTING DOWN: THIS IS THE PRICE ONE PAYS FOR SCREWING WITH THE MASTER” is hidden in the code.  The message includes screen control codes, which would allow multiple color shifts, instant upper-and-lowercase changes, etc. Judging by this and 3 $EA’s (NOP) found in the beginning of the code, it looks like there once was copy protection inside the cart which was later disabled.  Since Ward Shrake archived the code from a glued-and-sealed original cart, someone official in the company must have removed it.  {Ward Shrake}
