Developer: NMK This game has a hidden developer message. |
Valtric is an interesting shoot 'em up that removes the autoscrolling associated with the genre and adds a (limited) jumping feature.

Hidden Message
One rather goofy message can be found in the main CPU at 0x16E70:
Message | Translation |

MAIDO ARIGATOH GOZAIMASHITA KONO VALTRIC WA TENKABUTSUNO ISSAI HAITTEINAI OKOSAMANIMO ANSHINSHITE DASERU OKASHI DESU.... CHAN CHAN. |
Thank you for your continued support. Valtric is a candy that can be safely given to children and contains absolutely no additives.... CHAN CHAN. |
