RE: Wierd result while testing MS Pacman board

I've never seen it, but I don't doubt it's hidden in the code somewhere.
Probably a way to check bootleg boards for pirated code. It would
definately be interesting to find out how this is activated. What were you
doing to the board at the time it happened?

Anyone seen this? I had a Ms Pacman boardset (Midway) under test on the
bench and at one point up popped on the screen the following (written
for
horizontal viewing in RED DOTS!) "MADE BY NAMCO" The three words were
each
almost the width of the screen and 1/3 the height, in RED DOTS!. Very
curious. I was unable to figure out how this happened. Hints?
