Firstly, Michael, thank you for such a long and detailed writeup. I
have read through it multiple times and I believe I understand all
what you are saying, however I have doubt my skill in executing the
possible fixes. I'll try to do what I can without resorting to hand
fixing the code at this point, but if I can't get all the cassettes to
load...then who knows.

Dirk, I have put screen captures (loaded in Virtual ][) of what I have
recovered so far. You can see M.Hata's name in the launch screen of
Super Invaders. I've never seen a version of Super Invaders with a
launch screen before so maybe that is specific to this cassette. Also
see the Galaxian screen with the super cool typo...thats just so
Japanese, I love it.

As for your other questions, I don't know any other information about
these games or their artwork. Sorry.

Phil

Anyway
