Doh! Or, of course, you could just load the ROM image straight into
screen memory and see if anything looks familiar:

   MODE &82:*LOAD MONST-M FFFE3000

16x16 sprites will be split top half and bottom half. I can see what
looks like a running figure, some monsters, some brick walls, and
some blobs and numbers.

BTW, it doesn't look like a ROM image, it looks like plain machine code.
