Really guys...I heard it say "sector secured" & "Red Alert" (later in game
play) I don't think I'm going crazy. I'm trying to remember when I heard
this, if I was using the complete original PCB set or if I just used the speech
board w/multigame. Does anyone have a ST using the original eprom/CPU
board, not the multigame, that would be willing to check this out ? Maybe it's an
issue with the multigame coding ? I guess I'm being a bit nit picky...
