So you have the title as "Bouncing Baby Bunnies," but the title on-screen is "Bouncin'." I would think the on-screen title would be correct, not necessarily the title written on the proto. No?
Oops. I had fixed that but I guess I forgot to upload the new page. I'll do that when I get home. Yes the correct title is Bouncin' (or so I believe).

There isn't enough room to squeeze in the "g" in "Bouncng" on that title screen with a six byte display routine. I guess that is why they choose to abbreviate it.


Was there any previous artwork done in an ad or anything?

It appears the title screen is actually using a 32 pixel display, so a G could have been squeezed in ;) Perhaps Alex Leavens ran out of ROM and could not use a 48 pixel sprite.

You're right. For some reason I thought it was a 48 pixel being used. A "G" could have been fitted in easily.
