Wow! Great deep dive! I haven’t seen S100 boards in the wild since we retired our rack mounted 1980s Sun 2 decades ago (also 68020-based)

That struck me as odd -- I associated only 8080 (Z80) systems with S100 (a very primitive bus). Wikipedia has early Sun systems based on Intel's Multibus (being multi-master capable, a considerably more complex bus).

You are of course correct. The game is neither S100 or Multibus, but a similar cage. And I was misremembering the Sun2 as 68020 when it was actually just a 68010 -- which I could have verified if I only looked at the picture that I posted at the bottom of this page -
