Game Details

A vertical top-down upwardsscrolling spaceship shoot'em-up game with a gradius-like pick-up system (you pick up tokens that yield various upgrades to your ship that you may choose, speed costs one token, shot costs 2, side-shot cost 3 etc.) The game is very intense even if the enemies are rather simple in design. Toaplan made a game in 1993 called V-5 which plays much like Slap Fight (Alcon).

Published for the Commodore 64 (USA) by Taito.

--- 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.

This article gives some quick tips on how to figure out what the pinouts are for an unknown PCB. The text is moderately technical so if you're not sure what R
