***** by cheyne. Comment: " Very similiar to Xevious but a thousand times more addictive! This is a classic vertical scrolling space game. The goal is to build your ship by picking up parts along the way. The clever part is that when you build your ship to its largest size, you can't stay that big. You must allow yourself to be hit by enemy fire which reduces your size. This helps you to fit into tight spots. The trick is to know when to get hit. Also, the background NEVER repeats!!"

I'm just going to start putting up all kinds of information that I've had archived away, so please pardon the mess! :) Identifying Unknown Board Sets Back in 1994, Rick Schieve wrote an article about how to identify unknown boards. 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
