    TRIVIA
    Released in July 1998.

    Ver.B is much more common than the original revision.

    Scitron / Gamest released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Pilots Kids, Space Bomber - SGCD-006) on 05/03/1999.

    UPDATES
    Differences in Ver.B compared to the original:
    • Intro: picture of man ("No, go to star") has been flipped horizontally
    • Intro: spinning "Space Bomber" at bottom right is red instead of silver.
    • "Game Over" image has different palette
    • Lives counter are animated instead of a larger static image
    • Story panes have been added between worlds and when the game is cleared, the original had none
    • 'rankings' have been added on all clear ("CAT-2" etc.)
    • Gameplay tweaks seem to consist of shrinking the size of bullets in a given encounter (e.g. third wave of bullets for boss 2-4, bullets from saucers in 1-4) presumably to make it a touch easier

    TIPS AND TRICKS
    • Play As Light blue ship: After inserting a credit, press Right(x3), Left(x3), Right(x7).
    • Play As Tetris block: After inserting a credit, press Up(x3), Down(x3), Up(x7).
    • Unlock Extra Maintenance: If you hold Test Button+PL1 Button 1 during boot, you get extra options in the test menu (Stage Select with choice of ships, BG Test).
