NOTE:
- Clone smooncrs: This set (unlike the other eight clones) does not make use of the keys for player 2. Not a bug, the game ALWAYS checks the inputs from player 1 (even in "cocktail" mode) due to game Z80 code at 0x2b1c and 0x3306. stephh (ID 01299)
Bugs:
- Clones mooncrgx, mooncrsb, mooncrs2: The demo sequence is way out in left. Fujix (ID 00447)
- Clones mooncmw, spcdraga, mooncrgx: Corrupt graphics on 3rd and 4th stages. Robbbert (ID 02072)
- Clone mooncrgx: Sprite cutoff in cocktail mode incorrect. Robbbert (ID 02074)
- Side-byside test. Gary Walton (01666)
- Clone smooncrs: In cocktail mode you cant see player 2's shots and enemies bullets go in other direction then your ship but they seem to hit you anyway. Gmitra (ID 00451)
- Clone smooncrs: From when you start the emulation to when you lose your 1st life, a strange insectoid rumbling noise is heard, does not occur in any of the other clones. Fever (ID 00449)

- 0.34b8: Barry Rodewald fixed clone Moon Cresta (bootleg on Galaxian hardware).
- 0.33b7: Nicola Salmoria added clone Moon Cresta (bootleg on Galaxian hardware). Moon Cresta uses the original gfx ROMs, fixing graphics glitches on the title screen.
- 0.33b5: Nicola Salmoria attempt at making the main Galaxian / Moon Cresta sound channel more accurate.

- 0.19: Changed noise_length and noise_rate values in Moon Cresta audio driver, so now noise is much more noisier!
- 0.18: Nicola added some lousy noise to Moon Cresta.
- 0.16: Added clone Fantazia (bootleg). The highscore should show Gremlin logo. But probably available rom images are corrupted. Not playable yet!
- 0.15: Hiscore save in Moon Cresta.
- 0.12: Gary Walton confirms that the colors in Moon Cresta and Moon Quasar are 100% accurate. Very good!
- 0.09: Added Moon Cresta (Nichibutsu). These ROMs are encrypted, and slightly different from the other version. This is very likely the version Chuck Cochems remembers (with aliens teleporting right in front of your ship). Nicola renamed the other version (which looks like a mix of the code from a bootleg version and the graphics from the Gremlin original version) "mooncrsb".
- 0.06: Nicola Salmoria added star background in Galaxians & co. The way Nicola calculate it is probably not correct, anyway it looks reasonable.
- 0.05: Nicola Salmoria added Moon Cresta (bootleg 1980) (wrong colors, limited sound). Only one sound channel is emulated and the game has no star background. Infos from Robert Anschuetz (Arcade emulator). Some info on Moon Cresta taken from Arcade Emulator by Robert Anschuetz.

Eagle (c) 10/1980 Centuri.
An early shoot'em up.
- TECHNICAL -
The sides of the cabinet are decorated with huge stickers of a ship breaking into three parts orbiting a dish-shaped planet. The word 'EAGLE' is written in large letters diagonally across most of the side with round alien ships placed around it. The control panel has an overlay sticker containing docking instructions and labels for the left, right, and one/two player start buttons. Pictures of asteroids and a planet also decorate control panel. The marquee has a different, older-looking tri-stage ship with little planets and alien ships scattered around. The word 'EAGLE' is positioned on the right hand side with what looks like wings on each side. The game was also released as a cabaret. This cabinet has a different overlay than the upright, the title appears on the front bottom of the overlay with the wing design, there is a small spaceship on the right side, and there is no ship on top of the control panel.
