|
Developer: Konami
|
A Japan-exclusive port of the arcade game. Told you it wasn't Life Force.
Sound Test
Hold A + B at the title screen and press Start for the game's sound test. Virtually identical sound tests can also be found in Super C and the Japanese version of Contra.

Gofer, the final boss, uses a low-frequency DPCM sample for his opening speech...
...but if you speed up the sample with a higher frequency you will hear this:
It's just a partial low-frequency replay of the global samples set from the game.
Here are all the samples of the game as they are stored in the ROM:
