An enhanced port of the original arcade release.

In the far future, under strict martial law, a rebellion grew so strong that it wants to destroy Earth, and the player's goal is to prevent it from happening by blasting down everything.

Unused Graphics

NOTE: All of these graphics are compressed under Aqualead LZSS in the data, and take in consideration the folder assets.

Unused Graphic Banks

The folder CD, which contains the game's program data, also has unaltered graphic banks from the game's Arcade and PlayStation releases, most of which were displayed in the game's original iOS version. Even so, several of these banks have no used or "remastered" equivalents:

Loading Screens

These loading screens are taken from the game's PlayStation release, wherein they are displayed during the game's Extra Mode. They don't seem to be used by the game at all.

MAPA.BIN

MAPB.BIN

MAPC.BIN

MAPD.BIN

MAPE.BIN

MAPF.BIN

MAPG.BIN

Tutorial

T_TEACH.BIN contains the graphic files used for the game's tutorial screen in attract mode. While the screen itself was retained in this port, these graphics are not displayed at all. While these might have been displayed in the iOS release's first version, this cannot be confirmed.
