Two different versions of this game exist. One version has borders on the top and bottom of the screen, and allows you to pause between rounds. The other doesn’t have any screen borders, and will crash if you let it idle for too long.
Each level you complete displays initials from one of the band members: SS, JC, RV, NS, SP (for drummer Steve Smith, keyboard player Jonathan Cain, bass player Ross Valory, lead guitarist Neal Schon, and lead singer Steve Perry).
It seems the programmer copied the code for reproducing the star field background from Cosmic Ark, as the manual mentions the TV Type switch will turn it off or on.
