***** by Scourge. Comment: "One of the all time greats. Didn't do as well as Centipede, which is a shame since it's a far superior game. Insane amounts of action." (2002-08-30 11:15:44Z)

***** by kk. Comment: "Huge improvement on Centipede - and with the Tempest-style "start at a higher level" and the additional characters, this is a 5 star game IMHO." (2000-07-26 15:22:31Z)

This version adds the pinouts used for a cocktail style cabinet, joystick inputs, and seperate H & V sync outputs.

Early Atari documentation list
Submitted by Gregg Woodcock (woodcock@bnr.ca) Here is a pretty complete list of documentation for Atari's early arcade video games. Note that "TM" stands for "Technical Manual" and "DP" stands for "Drawing Package [supplement]" which was later renamed to "SP" which stands for "Supplement Package". I am not sure what "CO" stands for but the "C" could be for "Correction" because most of the CO documents were errata or addendums to the manuals. In addition, most Atari games had "ST" documents which w
