Yeah, the Justin Bailey code is a fluke, one that just happens to work. People have been playing with the password system for years and finding all sorts of weird word combos that perform odd functions. One that shouldn't work but does because it bypasses the checksum routine and gives a result anyway (infinite energy and infinite missiles), is NARPAS SWORD0 000000 000000. This is something that must have been deliberately programmed into the game by someone, and it had to have been done during the conversion to the US release since the Famicom version saved to disk and didn't use a password system, but nobody has any idea who did it or when. There are several different theories, but no definitive answers.

Hi!

I always thougt that the meaning of NARPAS SWORD is North American Realease Password.

I mean, it is my favorite theory.

If you are talking about old DOS games, I have to say JILL of the JUNGLE, (because I played the Atari classic Jungle Hunt a few moments ago), and The Incredible Machine.

And now I will go to youtube looking for the looney tunes factory theme song...
