Formation Z port was produced by Hect and released in April 1985.
The docking bonus (before the space stage) and gates (desert area) were removed due to rom size. The maximum fuel for plane is 99 instead of 100 for the same reason.
The steering in this port is easier than the coin-op original as there is no inertia.
* Tanks require you to shoot them down with a rocket. They don't appear only on water areas.
* Don't transform too early: you'll quickly lose fuel. So time your transformation properly.
* Don't fly too high: you'll fly too slowly. So make sure the water is still visible on the bottom of the screen. This tip applies to areas before space.
* Defeat the alien (before space section) by shooting the rocket onto the top.
* Defeat the boss in space just like tanks - with rockets. Destroy the first cannon, the second one and finally the ship itself.
