Unused Graphics

This unused ship is found amongst the point graphics. Unlike the enemy and player graphics, it has no rotated frames.

There is also a second palette swap for it, but it is simply a color switch.

Maybe an alternate tractor beam graphic?

A 500-point graphic, but no enemies have this value.

Easter Egg

In Service Mode, hold Button 1 and press Right (×5), Left (×6), Right (×3), Left (×7). If done correctly, "©1981 NAMCO LTD." will appear on-screen.
