Secret message monitors

In each level there is a monitor showing “見る”, which means “look” or “see” in Japanese. When you open these you see these messages, for each of the four levels:

08-XX-XX...
XX-31-XX...
XX-XX-71...
XX-XX-XX, SFX GET THAT???

If you play sound effects 00, 08, 03, 01, 07, 01. If you do this then the secret message changes to:

TRY THESE SFX! 02-11-66, 09-01-68, 02-15-66, 04-25-57, 
* * * FIND THE REST ON YOUR OWN ***

These correspond to some of the cheat codes above.

If you enter SFX sequence 00, 03, 01, 08, 09, 02 then you get this message:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BLL, 03-18-92
