SUPER Othello is a lot like regular Othello. Actually, it's exactly like regular Othello. This is a bunch of baloney!

Developers Credits

There are three hidden developer credits in the Sound and Sub-CPUs. Interestingly, these all seem to be written by the same person, and that person is not listed in the in-game credits... although he is in other Success games from the period.

The first message is in the Sound CPU starting at 0x006D:

Created Apl 12, 1986 by S.Koyama
Updated May 30, 1986 by S.Koyama

The second message, a version string, is in the Sub-CPU at 0xEFC7:

<ITSUI Othello Ver 4.825 >

And the final message is also in Sub-CPU, stored at 0xF010:

create              Apl 12, 1986
update              May  7, 1986
                by Susumu Koyama
