Flyer Screenshots#

As with many Konami games around this era, the Japanese flyer from Leijac shows an earlier version of the game with several differences:

(Source: The Arcade Flyer Archive)

• The title screen does not prompt the player "HOW FAR CAN YOU INVADE OUR SCRAMBLE SYSTEM?"
  • Instead, a generic "INSERT COIN" headline is used.
  • The title screen is also more off center.
• Same as with The End, the default high score is zero.
• A tiny icon of a UFO is used to indicate the current area, with a rocket marking the player's progress.
  • The UFO graphic is still present in the final game, unused.
• Destroying fuel tanks awards the player with 50 instead of 100 points.

These screenshots appear to predate the flyer itself, as the cabinet shown already features a build with a finalized marker display.
