Unused Music#
Hidden in the game's ROM are 8 unused music tracks. For whatever reason, only 4 of these were included on the Tecmo Arcade Game Chronicle box set (SRIN-1104, Disc 2, Tr. 29-32), while the other 4 were omitted.
The game's arcade PCB board uses 3 YM2149F chips simultaneously for music and sound effects. The Yamaha YM2149F is a licensed derivative of the AY-3-8910 chip.
