GCC Developer Steve Golson left a few comments on the recent video! He actually looked into an older version of the source code to see what exactly happened, and it looks like the code worked as intended at first, but was modified and broke during later development!

For all of my "followup" videos (the ones I put the quicker intro in), I tend to use my footnote voice, which is just my normal speaking voice instead of super enthusiastic voice I use for the main videos.

Of course that means I get a lot of comments asking if I'm depressed, ha

I did end up making that followup video about Ms. Pac-Man and why I think Inky and Sue were not made to move randomly at the start of each level. There's a bunch of stuff to learn and explain about arcade hardware!
