See, what I was gonna tell you to do was beat the game on an emulator or something, but then I remembered that games didn't have credits (or even fucking end in most cases) back then.

The most you were likely to get is defauly high scores with the staff's initials.Quote:

I decided to put in an easter egg that would provide me with credit (which was against Sega policy.) I programmed it such that if, during gameplay, the user blindly typed "Who programmed this game?" It would display "ROBERT MCNALLY" at the bottom of the screen for 30 seconds. Sadly, I made the mistake of showing the easter egg to a couple of colleagues who I thought I could trust, and one of them reported my escapade to my supervisor, who made me disable the code. The release version does NOT have this code, and contains no other easter eggs.
Frogger is largely attributed to Sega here, but it was actually a Konami development (hence it appearing in the Konami collection for GBA).Quote:

Taito had American arcade development? I would like more info on that if you have any. I thought all their arcade games were developed by Taito Japan or by other Japanese developers like Kaneko.
Was'nt Qix licensed in the US, by Atari?
Arcade Fever lists it as a Taito game, my bad. Maybe I'm thinking of the home license?
Atari ported it to the 5200.
It was also on C-64(Atarisoft), Atari 400/800 computers and the Atari Lynx.Quote:

Space Dungeon, Electric Yo-Yo, and Zoo Keeper also are TAMCO titles I'm certain.
