Accepted [+] [X] Chequered Flag [Model GX717] Update submitted by Andrzej Warszawski
Chequered Flag (c) 1988 Konami.
Chequered Flag is an overhead-view racing game featuring rotational sprite scaling. The player races over a series of twisting courses, trying to reach the finish line before the timer expires.
The game includes a Pit-stop facility, a feature that had appeared a year earlier in Taito's "Continental Circus". Should the player's car sustain too much damage, a pit-stop must be made to implement repairs. A 'damage meter' at the bottom of the screen shows the severity of the damage; highlighting what car components are in need of repair; Engine, Front Tires, Rear Tires and Brakes.

Control : 2 pedals (analog gas pedal and digital brake), limited-range steering wheel and high-low gear shifter
Buttons : 1 > start
- TRIVIA -
Chequered Flag was released in May 1988.
Another title is accessible via dipswitches: Checkered Flag. It doesn't change the speed unit into a mile per hour despite US-only spelling.
Some machines feature only a gas pedal.
Stage 1's circuit is a recreation of Suzuka circuit east course, stage 2 is driven on a deformed Circuit De La Sarthe, where the last stage (#3) is nearly full layout of Suzuka circuit - GP course without Casio triangle.
King Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Konami Game Music Collection Vol.1 - K30X7705) on August 5, 1988. This album was reprinted (KCIA-2309) on May 21, 1993.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Stage #3 doesn't require you to refuel, so drive into the pit only when tires, brake or engine are broken.
- UPDATES -
Japanese rom has the copyright notice forbidding to play outside Japan; it's shown after a few demo plays.

Accepted [+] [X] Wild Gunman [Model HVC-WG] Update submitted by Andrzej Warszawski
Wild Gunman (c) 1984 Nintendo.
Modes: A = 1 outlaw, B = 2 outlaws, C = gang with 10 members.
- TECHNICAL -
Cartridge ID: HVC-WG
Controls: lightgun
Players: 1.
- TRIVIA -
Wild Gunman was released on February 18, 1984 in Japan.
The music played after no response (you lost) is an 8-bit interpretation
of "Funeral March" from piano sonata no. 2 in B flat minor by Frédéric Chopin.
The original version of this 8-bit game was one of Nintendo's early (A structure composed of a series of arches supported by columns) arcade games released in 1974. It consisted of a light gun connected to a 16mm projection screen. An image of a Wild West gunslinger was projected onto the screen and when his eyes flashed, the player needed to draw and shoot.
A Wild Gunman unit appears in the 1985 movie 'Back to the Future', and in the 1989 movie 'Back to the Future Part II'. In 'Back to the Future Part II' they seem to have screwed things, when Marty Mc Fly (Michael J. Fox) plays this game, the graphics are not pixelated, they are high-res drawings and even have smooth movements like the hat of one of the gunmen falling on his belly. Maybe the special effects people wanted to make the video game as it would look in the future, however, in the movie it is stated that this is a game from the 80's and Marty, who was from 1985, was an ace of it.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Shoot 5 bullets after taking 9 outlaws down on game C. When you encounter the last (10th) one, you may shoot the 5 emergency bullets out. You'll get the gun reloaded for the next wave, but no points for unused bullets.
* Some outlaws on game "B" say "FIRE!" only from the right side. In this case you need to prepare your gun to shoot the right side first to avoid accidental fouls from shooting left.

Video slot machine
Double Draw (c) 1983 Cal Omega.
Draw Poker with the exciting Double-Up feature plus the added attraction of a bonus draw. Player can discard up to 5 cards per hand. A pair of Jacks or better is a winning hand. If a lesser hand appears, he is offered a second 'Bonus Draw' of any one card. When a player has a winning hand, he has 2 choices. He may keep his win with the 'Take' button or try to double it with the 'Double' button. If he selects 'Double', 2 more choices appear, 'Big' or 'Small'. If 'Big' is selected, the next card to appear must be higher than an '8' to win. If 'Small' is selected, the next card to appear must be lower than an '8' to win. Winning doubles the player's skill points.

Accepted [+] [X] Baseball [Model HVC-BA] Update submitted by Andrzej Warszawski
ベースボール(c) 1983 Nintendo.
(Baseball)
A baseball game. Players pick from a list of teams. The game-play can be very frustrating because infielders may not pick up a ball at their feet since they are waiting for another player to come over and pick it up.
- TECHNICAL -
Game ID: HVC-BA
Players = 1 (human vs computer) or 2 (human vs human).
- TRIVIA -
Base Ball was released on December 07, 1983 in Japan.
Export release:
Released in North America as "Base Ball [Model NES-BA-USA]".
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* The computer (AI) is very tough to defeat, but if you practice it and play for a while, you'll be able to beat them.
* Try not to run around the bases too often. The controls are really bad actually and sometimes respond too late, resulting in an Out for you. When you reach the base, stay there.
* The 4th batter is usually your strongest hitter.
* Hit right/left while the ball is in the air to curve the ball accordingly. You can even curve the ball right AND left in one throw.
* All the teams possess the same abilities, so it doesn't matter which team you choose either in 1- or 2-player games.
- UPDATES -
The NES rom published in USA has different speed unit (mile per hour), top and bottom halves of innings are written in English, teams' letters are different (A, C, D, P, R and Y) and the export rom was published by Nintendo Of America with 1984 copyright year.

F-1 Race (c) 1984 Nintendo.
Formula 1-styled game divided into 3 skill levels.
- TECHNICAL -
GAME ID: HVC-FR-JPN
Controls: d-pad left and right = steer in desired direction, d-pad up = set the gear to low, d-pad down = high gear, A = accelerate, B = brake.
Players = 1.
- TRIVIA -
F1 Race was released on November 02, 1984 in Japan at a retail price of 4500 Yen.
The game may have come out as incomplete - circuit #5 is still driven even after lap #2.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Reach 496 km/h: first, drive almost onto the right edge of road. Then watch the speedometer. When it reaches 416 km/h, the car will accelerate up to 496 km/h. This can be done only on circuit #1 on skill level 1.
* Skill levels have not only more difficult courses, but also lower thresholds of car's slide (the car handles worse at turns).
* Circuit #5 is bugged at all 3 skill levels - lap #2 doesn't end the course. The only way to end the game is to let the timer run out at this stage.
* Even one crash can lead to a game over. Avoid the barrels and turn signs put by both sides of the road along with opponents' cars at all times.

Accepted [+] [X] Star Force [Model HFC-SF] Update submitted by Andrzej Warszawski
Star Force (c) 1985 Hudson Soft [Hudson Group].
Star Force is a vertical shooter, conversion of Tecmo's arcade game originally released in 1984.
In the year 2010, a mysterious planet named Gordess threatens the peace and stability of the cosmos. A fearless pilot on board the futuristic Final Star space fighter decides to take on the dangerous mission to defend humanity against the approaching menace. The goal of the game is to destroy the incoming enemy ships, ground structures and the countless bosses from each area. The Final Star essentially has only one weapon called the Star Beam. It starts out rather weak but can be upgraded along the way - the player can combine with another ship called the Purser and transform the Final Star to dramatically enhance and speed up the Star beam. Large ships called Alpha Targets appear at the end of each area and must be annihilated in order to move along to the next stage. This feature is at the core of the gameplay and stages can't be cleared without destroying these bosses. Smaller fortresses such as Larios also appear throughout the game and skillful shooting is necessary to take them down on time for the highest possible score.
- TECHNICAL -
GAME ID: HFC-SF
BARCODE: 4927713040498
Controls: d-pad (8 ways): move the ship, A or B: shoot.
Players: 1.
- TRIVIA -
Star Force for Famicom was released on June 25, 1985 in Japan for 4900 Yen.
Due to technical limitations, the Greek symbols are substituted by Latin letters and the symbol name is displayed just before the fight (attack ALPHA/BETA/GAMMA etc. target).
Star Force was the first game to be featured at Hudson Soft's Caravan Festival. The highest score for Star Force was 314900.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Invincibility:
At title screen, press and hold Up, Right, A & B on the 2nd controller. While holding those buttons, press and hold Up, Left, A & B on the 1st controller and press Start. If done right, you should be invincible.
* Predict boss movement:
Look at the hundreds' row before the boss fight. If it's odd, go right. But when it's even or 0, go left.
- UPDATES -
The NES rom has different logo (instead of inspired by coin-op original), static blue stars (instead of flashing red and blue with slightly alternating locations), different music, partially changed graphics, score and lives repainted into white, boss goes left when the hundreds' row is odd and has information (after beating Omega target) from Tecmo advertising Super Star Force, although it had come out only for standard FamiCom.
