Ten Pence Arcade - 209 - Vapor Trail

This month we review Vapor Trail, a late 80s vertical shooter with some useful powerups and a banging hard rock sound track. It looks a like a Raiden game when you first coin-up, but there's a bit more to it as you play through. Oh yes.

NEXT SHOW’S GAME

Shaun’s Pick

STRIDER: Capcom 1989

There’s no real consensus on the game settings. Twin Galaxies, Aurcade, PC MAME, Raspberry Pi, Pandora’s Box! all have slightly different settings.
So we're going with what the majority of those can agree on--->

THESE ARE NOT DEFAULT SETTINGS (for some systems)

ROM: strider (USA BOARD B-2 for Raspberry Pi (FB Neo) players)

DIFFICULTY: 4 (NORMAL)

BONUS LIFE: 20K, 40K, 60K+ (get as close as you can to these numbers as you can)

LIVES: 3

CHECK YOUR DIPS BEFORE PLAYING!
