TRIVIA

Red Alarm was released on July 21, 1995 in Japan.

T&E Soft waso one of the few third-party companies approached to develop games for the Virtual Boy. Nintendo tried to maintain as much control as possible over Virtual Boy game development so that low-quality releases by outside companies could be avoided. Although T&E Soft was known for golf video games, the design of Red Alarm was inspired by that of Star Wing, the famous SFC shoot'em up.

TIPS AND TRICKS
Debug Menu: On the title screen, press Select 60 times
If performed correctly, an explosion sound effect will play. If the game moves on to its attract sequence without playing the effect, it hasn't worked. If it works, the debug menu can now be summoned with the following input: In-game, press L, R, Select and A simultaneously.
This will cause the debug menu to appear on-screen. The Special option will give the player all ship upgrades and invincibility, while the rest are quite self-explanatory, with the Music menu opening into a rather bare-bones sound test. Exit restarts the current stage.
