edition, does warrant recognition in my List of MM/JSW Games as a
third version of Henry's Hoard.
SPECSAISIE Compare reveals that the MicroHobby version uses exactly
the game-engine of the 1986 edition (i.e. all the machine-code
instructions are identical), but has the following data-differences:
* three scrolling messages have been edited (#99F2-9AB5, #9F00-9FFF
and #FF34-FFFD);
* "CUBBY HOLE" [43] has been renamed "HOOVER'S HOLLOW";
* "FOREST CLEARING" [49] has been renamed "PADDY'S PATCH".
