Gee... the game loads the girly backdrop *every* stage. I guess you haven't
completed the 1st round yet! 8:D
You still can quit the game in this release. Press CLR/HOME.

?!?!?!
Is that a standard behaviour of harddisks on the MSX?!?
If so, I think the best solution would be:
To play the game from diskette, boot the computer (the final release will
have a custom bootsector and *no* MSX-DOS system files). The game system
will stop the motor via the *INTERFACE SPECIFIC STOP ROUTINE* (please
confirm address and parameters if any).
If ran from other media booted with an already installed MSX-DOS, the game
system won't stop anything.
Nice or what?
