Summary	01162: ncombat: [possible] Various glitches you play longer than 8m 32s.
Description	If you set the play time longer than 8min 32secs, at the "How to Play" screen, the player's character sprite doesn't show and the timer's minute and second fields are blank. When the game starts, your character doesn't show at all (supposed to jump down from the top) and the game immediately ends asking if you want to continue. I tried this setting in Nebula and observed the same results as well so I'm guessing it might be a game bug.
