Added DiffLines:

* ThirtyMinutesOrItsFree: As an advertisement for Domino's pizza, the game's time limit is 30 minutes (with a simple game over if you miss). However, the time is started at the building itself rather than having to drive to the location. Also in case of the Commodore 64 version, you're treated to a screen saying you're good enough to be a Domino's delivery person.
