    If you start to execute code on a random location, I guess it's more
likely that the game doesn't work at all, than to produce a consitent
slightly different game. Maybe eventually a BRK will be executed, but that
will execute the RAM initialization code that every game has, so it should
run the "normal" game.

    I stick to the RAM theory ;-D

Bye,

    Nicolás.
