Hidden Text#

Just next to the credits text used in the game, a hidden message exists:

1987,06,08 COMPLITE OYAMA SAN OTSUKARESAMA BY RURIRURI NAGATA

Which means:

June 8th, 1987 Complete. Good work, Oyama! By RuriRuri Nagata.

Oyama-san is the programmer/director Toshinori Oyama, and there is a "Charley Nakata" (Shinichi Nakata) in the game's credits for programming as well.

Shooting Game Hector Test#

Game Genie code GEVYYKGK (Japan) or GAXYIUGK (US) will enable a simple level select mode with the words "SHOOTING GAME HECTOR TEST". Press A or B to select a level, then press Start to begin. Note that the white spaces in the US version are incorrect, as the Japanese version has normal spaces between the words.
