Game Gear stuff

So my packages came today. I put in FIFA '96. It worked, but there was no noise. Could it be my Game Gear was having a problem? I tried putting in the other game I got, Sports Illustrated: Football and Baseball. The title screen music played, much to my relief. So it must be a problem with the cartridge. I put FIFA '96 back in and turned the volume to maximum. And there, on the game options screen, music played. But not on the title screen. Why not have music on the title screen? Oh well. I didn't program FIFA '96.

But I did program Hamburgers En Route to Switzerland 2. The game is for the most part finished. But apparently nobody wants to test it with me, so I guess I'll call it completed. I found an odd way though, to get the score to display in white. And I'm sure the code could be optimized, LOTS, but IT WORKS. And you know the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." 8 stages of French fry shooting action, and an ending.
