The game uses Capcom's CPS1 System, also used in games like 1941, Strider, Final Fight and Street Fighter II - The World Warrior.
This game uses a "suicide battery", located on the C-board of the PCB. When this battery dies, the game will no longer operate. You will be greeted with a blank screen upon power-up. This is one of the few CPS1 suicide games for which NO WORKING HACK EXISTS to revive it. Owners should get their battery swapped by someone with the ability to do it as soon as possible.
