Shooting a bunch of pixellated asteroids is fun.
Alternate Lives Counter#
At offset 0x4AB in the ROM, change A900 to A5BC to see the number of lives be represented by ships, similar to the arcade version. In the game, this is instead represented by a number. This was likely changed because only 6 ships can be displayed at a time.
