Title: Dangers of Uninitialized Memory

Some Gameboy games used uninitialized memory as padding to make the ROM size a multiple of 2mb (or exactly 2mb? Something like that). The uninitialized memory contained development environment, source code, etc. Clever folks can use that to learn a little about the development procedures. Pretty cool!
