Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.<\/p>\n

There was no listing for the background, but there were a few screenshots of
\nthe background getting created, as the article also appears to serve as an
\nintroduction to the BG Tool. I am pretty confident on the background graphics,
\naside from the star-field pattern. I also do not know what the intended color
\nfor the tiles are, so have left them with palette 0, as all of the screenhots
\nof the BG Tool in the article show “MODE 0”.<\/p>\n

2.<\/p>\n

For the NES rom version, I changed the “END” in line 700 to be a “GOTO 0”
\nstatement, otherwise it lets you play once and then leaves you at a BASIC
\nprompt.<\/p>\n

Game Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Float around try to shoot the ship that flies in from above. Be careful to
\ndodge its bullets. The d-pad moves you around and the ‘A’ button shoots. Be
\ncareful with the controls, as diagonals will do nothing. The game goes on
\nuntil you run out of lives.<\/p>\n

Cheats:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lives are stored in variable ‘R’. You can change that to a higher value in
\nlive 10 to start with more lives.<\/p>\n

Change line 600 to “600 GOTO 100” to become invincible.
