Well, I can tell you that it's pretty irritating if the harddisk spins down!
Several demo's do that also, e.g. the demo Scrollmania (I thought it was) in
IOD's Metal Limit. Other software does so too... BUt ok, in your game it isn't
that much of a problem, since indeed, it doesn't have to load afterwards (does
it? Don't you need to load the next stage pictures?) AND you cannot quit the
game other than reset the MSX.
