Ya can thank me for the Game Genie code (self plug self plug)

And yes, the game had several names in its development cycle. See here: http://www.chrismcovell.com/secret/FC__1990Q2.html#raf

The "A" in rʌf is not actually an alphabetical "a" but a phonetic symbol, which the guys at Sunsoft probably pulled out of their Japanese dictionaries for the word "Rough."

Useless trivia time over.
