The console version of *Stormlord* lacks something that the original PC versions had: nudity. The game's artwork was censored in the Genesis port.
Or was it? That's right, I found a real live nude code hiding in the game data.
To enter it, pause during gameplay, and...🧵

A new secret has been found in Dynamite Headdy!
The B-A-C-A code that Maegawa previously mentioned is actually in Dynamite Headdy, not McDonald's TLA.
@TreasureCoLtd これ、何か覚えていますか？
Treasure founder Masato Maegawa once recalled putting a code that spells "baka" into *McDonald's Treasureland Adventure* after getting frustrating feedback.
It's not in the final game, but I found it in *Dynamite Headdy*!
B-A-C-A-↓ makes the Sega logo fall with a boom sound.
Did Maegawa misremember which game he put the “baka” code in? Or did Headdy inherit from an earlier build of the Treasureland?
I think he misremembered. The code isn't in any version of Treasureland. It's not in the 4/94 build of Headdy, but is introduced in the 6/14/94 build.

Fumika Suzuki's sizzle reel is included because she is the lead voice actress in the Japanese version of the game.
Disappointingly, she is not the decorated Dr. Fumika Suzuki, professor at the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics.

The Japan-only Saturn port of Phantasmagoria, called Phantasm there, hides a movie viewer behind a cheat code — and the movies aren't what you'd expect! See what @memory_fallen found in today's Under the Microscope:

Player Discovers 'Nudity Code' Hidden in the Censored Sega Genesis Port of StormLord timeextension.com/news/2026/…
Here's my first Super Nintendo cheat code discovery. It's for *Shaq Fu*:
- Go to Options.
- Change the Music test cursor to 4 and press A to play the track.
- Enter L (x8), R (x3), B (x5).
Now you can press Select+Y to win or Select+X to lose any match!
Although it's much less newsworthy than this game's nude code, I also found a hidden programmer credit code. Pause and enter Up (x1), B (x4), Down (x3), Up (x2), A (x3), B (x2) to show it on the copyright screen.

The game's programmer alluded to the existence of this code in a 2019 interview with @GamingAlexandri.
"One of the codes removes the clothes from the fairies, revealing the original artwork... I vaguely recall we may have removed that particular cheat code before we shipped."
