Game Details
3D space shooter; all graphics are hand-drawn (no scaling here!). The theme of shooting one's way to paradise (and, in fact, the results thereof) is repeated in Midway's Smash TV.
Originally programmed simultaneously with an Atari 8-bit computer version- the computer version was lost in the corporate shuffling that went on after the video game crash of 1984.
- Published for PC (USA) and PlayStation (USA) by Midway in Arcade's Greatest Hits: Midway Collection 2.

--- 720 --- (Contributor: unknown) In the ramp section, levels 8, 9, and 10: holding down the kick and jump buttons simultanously on the lip of the ramp will boost your air. This trick only works when you're going the correct speed (usually your third or fourth jump), and only once (as far as I can tell) per ramp session per level. ----------- Afterburner ----------- (Contributor: Anthony D.
