Skipping the call (or just returning from it) will allow the demo to continue forever (it has code to reset the count back to 0 following the call, so it seems like the reset was patched in by design).  Rebooting was a simple way to bring back up the title screen.

Actually the second one is the better of the two ($15DA:60), since there's another call to it at $126D.  Or could add $126D:EA EA EA to get rid of that timer/reboot event.
