Game Summary
Breakout-style game with a futuristic twist.
Hardware Platform: -Unique or Unknown-
Game Details
This game took the Breakout formula to new heights, even giving a story line to the game. Player controlled a ship called a Vaus, and had to get through obstacles aliens placed in your path. Upgrades to the formula were many. There were silver blocks that required two hits of the ball to destroy. Some bricks in the wall released power-up capsules, which could split the ball into three, elongate your ship, award an extra life, or even allow you to catch the ball momentarily and release it from a new location.
Perhaps the best power-up turned the Vaus into a laser ship and the player could blast the bricks that remained in play. The effects of a capsule were identifiable by their distinctive color and letter coding. Additionally, there were some roving obstacles that occasionally when hit would send the ball off at a wildly sharp angle and require the player to adjust rapidly to the change. When all blocks were cleared, you went to the next level.

O-Taito is the Old Taito pinout on wiretap. N-Taito is the New-Taito pinout (Like Elevator Action). Quote by R. Schieve: "Taito.pin will match most for power, ground, monitor, and speaker connections but inputs are usually quite different." DECO/Data East is the Data East pinout.

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.
