Trivia

• The player can switch between Chinese and English text on the menu by pressing Select.
• The board contains DIP switches on it which lead to other variants that have fewer games on the menu and may already be in English at the beginning. However, these variants haven't been found yet in physical form.
• The ROM contains a huge chunk of uncompiled source code starting at 0xC88A. There are several notable things when looking through the source code:
  • The Hummer is referred to as "SONIC" in the code, most likely due to the fact it's a hack of Sonic & Knuckles 5.
  • Pink Jelly is referred to as "PINK OF RINGS" since it's a hack of Rings. (The variations that start at later levels include a number after "PINK" However, The Duck has a similar title (DUCK0 OF RINGS, with The Egg being called DUCK1 OF RINGS) even though both games appear to be unrelated.
  • Hacker and Heroine is referred to as "TITANIC" which might imply the misspelling in the original title was done on purpose.
  • References to Dragon Runningand War of Strike Mouse can be found but it's most likely leftover code from another multicart.
• The Duck / The Egg does have light gun support but it seems to be incomplete; in The Egg variant, you can't shoot any eggs, and using the zapper to start the game from the title screen will result in the game using the title screen's palettes.
• At address 0701, inputting a value higher than 20 will result in Donkey Kong Country 4 music playing.
• In the game "War", Osama Bin Laden appears as the boss of the 3rd and 4th levels.
