This would add a counter RANDOM_SEED which can be read from and written to. The seed will not be saved in save files. This feature would allow for:

1) The ability to replicate buggy behavior consistently in situations affected by random factors (e.g. built-in enemies)

2) The ability to use randomness to vary gameplay effects consistently when reused (e.g. animations) and then restore the original seed when finished

2) The ability to generate gameplay demos in games that rely on randomness in MZX (which is probably most of them)
