additional information
info 0.35b3 [Nicola Salmoria]

WIP:
  • 0.122u1: Corrado Tomaselli modified the Turbo Force sound Z80 to 5Mhz.
  • 0.109: Canim fixed some sprite priorities problems in Turbo Force (the problem is related with the final enemy in stage 3, which is moving along the level under the floor).
  • 0.103u5: Pierpaolo Prazzoli undid the fix for bug turbofrc37b1gre since it broke more things that it fixed.
  • 0.103u2: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added a custom sprites drawing function needed to fix Turbo Force sprites priority issues.
  • 0.81u7: Brian Troha fixed dipswitches in Turbo Force. Added 'Coinage' dipswitch.
  • 0.78u5: Added 'Unknown' dips.
  • 0.72u2: Added dipswitches 'Difficulty' and 'Bonus Life'.
  • 0.37b16: Changed visible area to 240x352.
  • 0.37b1: Nicola Salmoria fixed front layer in Turbo Force. Replaced gfx2 rom ($0) with a new dump.
  • 0.36b4: Added fake gfx2 rom ($0).
  • 0.35b4: Added gfx1 rom ($80000) and gfx2 rom ($80000) - gfx2 rom ($0) is still missing.
  • 0.35b3: Nicola Salmoria added Turbo Force (Video System 1991). Issues: The front scrolling layer is completely wrong. You can see the title and American flag correctly only due to a hack. Everything else is wrong. The only explanation I have for this is a missing gfx ROM. To toggle the front layer off and on, press the space bar. You'll need to in later levels otherwise you won't see the background and some enemies.
LEVELS: 7 (endless)
