Novaload Debris
The game's code actually begins from $1200. The first two blocks ($1001/11FF) have been occupied by the Novaload code in order to operate in a safe slice of the memory in compresence with the game itself. In the end, this unnecessary code has been left there, in the final copy of the game.

The original BASIC line of the Novaload code, which runs it at $100F (SYS4111) has been partially cleaned up by the game's code which handles the titlescreen, extending the involvement of the screen memory up to $1005 when moving the big letters in the FRENESIS logo. They've been zeroed in the final release.
Once rebuilt, the BASIC line looks like SYS 4111NEW (arbitrarily assuming a line number equal to 0). RUNning that line, the Novaload header appears on screen.
