Thanks for sharing. Dumping the $6000 ROM from the $A000 socket must have worked then?

I loaded it up in the latest nightly build of WinVice and I don't hear any sounds at all.
Sounds are working in other games though.
I'll have to load it up on real hardware and see.

Yeah, putting the $60 chip in the $A0 socket got it dumped properly. Speech is a little quiet, I had to slide the volume control on Vice up to at least halfway before I could hear it.

Good one. The title screen reminds me of kick man. Why hasn't anyone ported kick man to the vic? It was a fun game too.

Could we see a picture of the actual cartridge, please?

Thanks.

Great find, will this cartridge image be included in newly produced MegaCarts as well?

Sure, this is the shot that the seller provider.

Both chips have "0406" written on them, so it must have been some product code or similar. Or 6th April perhaps.

Thanks for the picture. I tried the game in emulation and it seems the programmer was quite good - a very polished game.

Or maybe 4th of June if the company was from the USA where they use their distinct DD-MM-YYYY notation.

Well, I wouldn't put too much reading into the purpose of "0406".
US numeric dating uses MM-DD-YYYY for humans and YYYY-MM-DD for machines (i.e., sortable).
The locale formats are MMM DD, YYYY for humans and DD-MMM-YYYY for IT (i.e., labels).
Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
