Technical

This game is based on a standard Jaleco platform using twin 68K CPU's that is used on a few other games e.g. The Astyanax. It is coded MB8842 with an MB8843 ROM daughter card. Changing the ROM card changes the game.

To enter TEST mode, you must push the player 1 and 2 coin buttons together at boot. In test mode there are several screens and the buttons F1 and F2 correspond to player 1 button 1 and button 2. To exit test mode, simply power down the board. The same applies for all the other JALECO Megasys games such as Rodland and Saint Dragon.
