Superior had to remove the illegal 6502 instructions used in the protection
and the sprite rotation. A simple experiment I proved to a friend, by
swapping the 65C102 CPU from a 2nd Processor (also in the Master) with the
Beeb's 6502 and lo-and-behold Zalaga either crashed "Software Protected!",
or depending if you had a naughty pirate version, the ships corrupted the
display when they came onto the screen. I have played both, the Beeb one
feels smoother...
