Tips on Alcon (US)

* Weapon descriptions :
Speed - This will increase your flying speed.
Shot - Normal forward fire.
Side - Right and left fire.
Wing - Double, triple and quadruple fire power.
Bomb - Wide range fire
Laser - Long range fire.
H. Mis - Homing missiles.

* Super Power-Up : Insert your coin(s) and select one player mode. When you begin the game, do not press the fire button and do not kill anything. Try lasting as long as possible avoiding the enemies' bullets. Your ship will eventually be destroyed and when you resume, you will have all power-ups and weapons. The longer you lasted before being destroyed, the further in the game you'll resume.

Brian Troha and Guru corrected rom names for the Slap Fight sets, added PCB locations to any set where possible, added DIP locations and moved PCB information down to matching rom sets. Changed 'Alcon' to parent set 'Alcon (US)' and clones 'Slap Fight (Japan bootleg)' to 'Slap Fight (bootleg set 1)', 'Slap Fight (English bootleg)' to 'Slap Fight (bootleg set 2)', 'Slap Fight (bootleg)' to 'Slap Fight (bootleg set 3)', 'Slap Fight (set 1)' to 'Slap Fight (Japan set 1)' and 'Slap Fight (set 2)' to 'Slap Fight (Japan set 2)'. Renamed (slapbtjp) to (slapfighb1), (slapbtuk) to (slapfighb2) and (slapfgtr) to (slapfighb3).
- 25th June 2010: Guru - The 68705P5 MCU (A77_1) for Slap Fight has now been successfully processed (decap, de-protect & read).

- 14th March 2005: Corrado Tomaselli dumped Slap Fight (set 2).

- 0.34b4: Sebastien Chevalier improved music tempo in Slap Fight.
- 0.34b1: Christoff Feldtmann improved gfx in Slap Fight.
- 0.33b7: Keith Wilkins added accurate colors to Slap Fight. Renamed (slapboot) to (slapbtjp) and (slpboota) to (slapbtuk). Known issues: Scrolling is jerky. Music tempo is too slow.
- 0.33b2: Keith Wilkins added Slap Fight (Taito 1986) and clones (Japanese Bootleg) and (English Bootleg). Due to protection, the original version doesn't work. Scrolling is jerky. Music tempo is too slow. Use one of the bootlegs instead. The three games are identical, only the 1st CPU EPROM is different which shows up in the boot message, one if Japanese domestic and the other is English. The proms which MAY be the original slapfight ones currently give a hardware error and fail to boot.
