curious fact: when opening the tile map, in 256 bit color mode, we can see another font (in 16x16 size) that it's a modification of the NPG font with a yellow palette...
another curious fact: the font and other tiles from this release, are originated from a Venom trainer: The Pinball of the Dead. That's why it's too similar in aesthetic terms (it's because actually, Rapid Fire used the code of the Venom's trainer intro)...
I am wondering whether NiMR0D was another handle of NEiMOD. The names look very similar in terms of spelling. NiMR0D appeared out of nowhere and disappeared just as quickly, whereas NEiMOD had already established a name for himself in the GBA scene at that time and perhaps did not want to appear under his actual handle for Rapid Fire?

Or they shared the members that made the intro :)
