NOSEY GIT sounds very British :) I had to look it up -- Core Design. I knew some of the guys there at the time, but none of those in credits for ThunderStrike.

Does the original game have the same XOR string? I remember spending more time on Ecco the Dolphin cracking the password system than playing the game because it was so damned hard. I bought the game on day of release using every penny I had saved, then ruined it by cracking the code on the 2nd day and teleporting straight to the end.
