So much cool stuff to do in the 2600 port -
- Exploiting some sort of bug in the Mountain Zone involving the E-pods to have extra power-time left in the first Rainbow Zone. I think it involves shooting as many Harley rockets as you can in a short period of time, something about ending the wave early before the next E comes out, because the wave won't end until the E leaves the screen, allowing you to hang back and take it!
- Shooting through the cracks in the Stripe Zone to take out the forcefields and a lot more
- Seeing if you can take out all the Romeda rockets in the Bleak Zone after the snakes without missing one
- Holding that one shot to destroy the Gond at the very last second for big points.
Vanguard II dropped the ball big time. That's pretty obscure too. I know of only one port on the PSP (SNK Arcade Classics 0). Could be included on the list!
