    TRIVIA
    Released in December 1991.

    The round 17 is an illustration of "Pac-Man".

    The game has no high score table.

    The powerups are mostly inspired by these from Battle City.

    Victor Entertainment released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Namco Video Game Graffiti Vol.9 - VICL-8089) on 22/09/1993.

    UPDATES
    The US version is slightly different, it has the 'Winners Don't Use Drugs' screen. Moreover, it's fully in English.

    The 4-player version has no start button; instead the game begins after pressing the shoot button.

    TIPS AND TRICKS
    Bosses are encountered every 4 rounds.

    Extra life can be earned only after getting a tank powerup. There is no point threshold which awards an extra life here.

    Players can join the game at any time.
