History.dat entry:
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!
