Congrats to both for either stumbling upon the hardware protection check or to hap for fixing the issue and considering it may have been a protection check routine finally unearthed and documented just like one of those long hidden programmers ‘Easter egg’ codes coming to surface. A bit of trivia that might make its way to added info for the game sometime in the future.

rollingc: add comment for IN0 bit 0
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/32f6f833cadc4c7b46f4977a29559ee36a3e1877
// bit 0: Looks like simple protection for moonbase, see routine at $0EB1, gets called at $0DD2.
// It checks for score overflow, and the game ends with message "YOU ARE TOO STRONG" when score
// overflows from 99990 to 0. If bit 0 value = 1, the game ends prematurely when score hits 1000.
