by Dave__Dunmall. Comment: "An excellent, unusual coin-op for this era. This was the first and only video game to feature an "extra credit" icon which,unsurprisingly, reared its head very, very rarely." (2002-07-15 05:30:47Z)

--- 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.
