CURIOSITÀ
Halley's Comet è stato rilasciato nel Gennaio 1986.

This game was inspired by the actual 'Halley's Comet' ('Halley' is pronounced HAL-lee). It was named after Edmund Halley, who calculated its 76-year orbital period. Halley's Comet was visible in 1910 and 76 years after, in 1986 (February 9, to be exact), just the year when questo gioco è stato rilasciato da Taito:). Its next perihelion passage will be in 2061.

CONSIGLI E TRUCCHI

• Space Humour?:

When you start a new game and after the RESCUE THE EARTH FROM THE COMETS ! message appears, you can move your ship over it. The text will get erased, and the following message will appear over it: DO NOT ERASE.

• Level Boss Trick:

Shoot all but one of these squares and then press the hyperspace button (the smart-bomb) when the final square is lit. You should now receive 1,000,000 points! (this works for all level bosses).

• Another Tip:

When the game is in Game Over mode, you can actually control the ship at one point. This is rather useless, but fun!

• For Invincibility and Infinite Lives DIP Switches to work you must enable Debug Mode by pressing START1 during boot sequence.
