Strike Force Description

A player controls a spaceship on a horizontally (left/right) scrolling playfield. The object is to travel to various planets, shooting aliens and collecting power-ups while saving humans. Once these tasks have been completed, the mothership arrives to pick you up with any humans you may have dangling from your ship.

Conversion

The game uses similar hardware to Smash TV, Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, Total Carnage, High Impact Football and Trog. A simple ROM swap cannot be performed due to a protected PAL or two.

Miscellaneous

The control scheme differs from this game's prequels in that there are no thrust or reverse buttons. The player's ship moves in whatever direction the 8-way stick is pointing.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
