Bugs:
  • In the second stage, when the screen is invisible and when the screen scroll up, the status bar appear twice. Try to scroll up agaist a wall and fire repeatly; the bug appear. Twist: It appears that once you collide with a wall, that triggers the glitch and then firing will show it. I've also noticed another spot in the game where the wrong screen is displayed for a few frames. Mamesick: Timings should be now accurate... Aaron properly implemented them. A comparison with a PCB is required at this point IMHO. verified bchopper0122u5gre Robiza / Twist / Mamesick

history Mr. Heli no Daibouken (c) 1987 Irem.


As Mr. Heli in this horizontally scrolling shoot'em up, your mission is to rescue the planet. Clear 6 zones in all, including floating green islands, moving rock beds, underground clock towers, etc.! The incidents which occur one after another are all caused by the psychic power of the muddy. The enemies you encounter on your way are pretty tough. Keep sharp watch for them though they look cute. This is an exciting airfight game with the charm of a cartoon.
