ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE ROBOT MONSTERS

• HIDDEN MESSAGE: On the title screen, the initials "MSP" (for designer Mark Stephen Pierce) can be seen in the lower-right corner (see picture).  {Scott Stilphen}

• HIDDEN MESSAGE: The "Mission Completed!" screen (which you get after beating the final area of the game and rescuing Prof. Sarah Bellum) also has the initials "MSP" in the lower-right corner (picture #2). There also seem to be a pair of dates hidden in the number displays in the background – “5:15:87” on the left and “6:15:89” on the right (production start/finish dates? The game was released in July 1989). There’s also “858” in the lower-left corner. {Gordon Taylor}

• HIDDEN MESSAGE: The game code shares a hidden message: “HI LISA, ROBIN, MOM & DAD”.

• The initials for some/all of the programming team are on the high score table (at power up – picture #3):
