These are my notes from screwing with the HotRod crack on asimov.
I immediately noticed that the addresses differed from my crack in
'84 or so - they must have made a good few versions of this that loaded
in different areas of RAM.
Anyhow, have fun & see y'all on the newsgroup !!!!

^ I recommend making these two patches to kick some ass without crashing
the program. Remember to patch this with a debugger at the start of
each level since it reloads at level change. Of course, you could always
patch the .dsk image if you are a hard-core cheater... :)

^The routines that use the 60xx and 61xx variable space use indexed
addressing with the x-register so it can use the same routine for both you
and the enemy. If using a debugger on the program, X will be 00 if it is
calculating the enemy or 01 if it is calculating you.
