Ending proposal and my attempt at gamer romance...
This is what it's all about. She played through the game, beat it and I replaced the normal ending text with this. Since its an old game, there is limited memory to work with, thus the short almost haiku-like structure. There is also no question mark character anywhere in the game so I went with the ellipsis. I could have made one and replaced another character with it but it was more involved and I didnt have the time. Maybe in the re-release when we renew our vows in 20 years ;-)
this cart rebuild is pretty easy to do, in fact... more people should play around with this stuff IMO, and you could even make a little business selling custom or hard-to-find carts to your friends, or at conventions. all the ROM dumps are already online.
