The not saving values is another bug. I actually thought that Aaron's eeprom rewrite had FIXED this game, so it was promoted to working, but infact all Aaron's eeprom rewrite has done is prevent it saving anything to Eeprom, which prevents it corrupting Eeprom (previously it would corrupt the eeprom if you got a high score and no longer boot) If you reduce the write timing on the EEPROM (needed on several hyperstone games probably because the CPU timing isn't accurate) you end up back at the position where the game stops working once you get a high score. Interestingly the recently added clone (will be in 0.163) suffers from neither of these issues, and fixes a number of other issues present in this version.
