Actual Entry (non editable)
Halley's Comet (c) 1986 Taito. A space-shooter. Protect the earth from falling comets and asteroids. - TECHNICAL - Prom Stickers : A62 Main CPU : Motorola M6809 Sound CPU : Zilog Z80 Sound Chips : (4x) General Instrument AY8910 Players : 2 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 2 - TRIVIA - Halley's Comet was released in January 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 this game was released by Taito :). Its next perihelion passage will be in 2061. - TIPS AND TRICKS - * 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. - STAFF - From highscore table: Kouju Miki (K.M), (NIG), (LSI), Hisayoshi Ogura (OGR), (E.T) - PORTS - * CONSOLES: [JP] Nintendo Famicom Disk System (1989) "Halley Wars [Model TFS-HAL]" [JP] Sony PS2 (mar.29, 2007) "Taito Memories II Gekan [Model SLPM-66713]" - SOURCES - ROM dump (MAME).
