Arkanoid fans might find this mildly interesting. I came across a screen that was coded, but never actually appears in the game:

Strange. Wouldn't have thought there would be any intentionally developed levels hidden. Maybe the bytes it is read just happen to make it that way. But that would be a 1 in 999,999,999,999,999 chance. Nice find!

Will, did you happen to read down the third-to-last and second-to-last characters of each row beginning with level 100 in your LEVEL - DISPLAY table?:

(note that the blanks only appear following the last letter of the words with an odd number of letters)

Very interesting! I didn't notice that. I guess that would explain where those letters came from.

Nice! I have never even made it close to the end of Arkanoid though, that game is brutally hard for me. I owned a Cocktail version for a year or so but if I was lucky made it to the 20's (stages)

Wow, it is amazing to me what people will find sometimes. Very nice work.
