Each text string here is encoded as 2 position-control bytes, 1 attribute byte, then ASCII text with the final character's bit 7 set to mark the end of the string (consumed by the print routine reached via C122). The four strings, decoded in full: $C3AF pos=$02,$0A attr=$48 "BEST OFFICERS" $C3BF pos=$C6,$67 attr=$48 "ENTER YOUR INITIALS" $C3D5 pos=$07,$8E attr=$48 ". . ." (3-initial cursor placeholder) $C3DD pos=$C6,$C0 attr=$48 "RANK SCORE STAGE PLAY NAME" The last string's terminator byte falls exactly at $C3FF, where the preset-rows table below begins.

These are followed by the 10 preset high-score table rows themselves (the same 33-byte layout insert_high_score_entry writes into: 8-digit score, stage code, play/attempt count, 3-character initials -- full field breakdown at $C400 below). The preset initials include "JOB" (row 1) -- John O'Brien, this game's programmer.

At $C54B: 10 packed 2-byte values, copied by insert_high_score_entry into the row-offset table at $C401 (one per high-score row, for scroll_score_rows's scroll). At $C567: the 6-entry, 3-byte-per-stage code table read by insert_high_score_entry (" 1 ", " 2 ", " 3 ", " 4 ", " 5 ", "ALL" -- indexed by wanted_stage_number, 8007, which is 1..5 or 6 for the end screen). At $C55F: the 8-byte score-digit buffer written by check_high_score and read by insert_high_score_entry (initialised here to "00000000").
