I recently acquired a *large* amount (thousands) of EPROMs, EEPROMs, and PROMs from an out-of-business op, and I've found an odd ROM set in the batch.

A tube had ROMs marked "Asteroids Speed", and when read they don't match anything in ROMIdent.

Anyone run across anything like these before? I've got them set aside so they won't get recycled.
 
Sounds like probably a speed hack of some sort for Asteroids... what for, I don't know. Does it look old, or more recent. IIRC, Clay Cowgill did a 6 shot hack for Asteroids, but that was just a few years ago. You should post the ROM images somewhere and let someone look/try them out (you could probably compare ROM images in a hex editor and see what was changed, and Asteroids hack experts could probably tell you what effect they'd have).
