I've noticed this as well and it seems to be because Haunted House is
reading and using the values from undefined locations in the TIA. The
values read from these locations change depending on "something" not sure
what the "something" is though :-) So when Haunted House is loaded into
a SC the values the cartridge reads isn't the same as if it was a real
cartridge and thus you get the strange behavior. Something similar
happens with Warlords I believe.
Anyone know what the "something" is?
