The 'mystery rank' is believed to be ATARI. If you press the button on the keypad after completing a game, it will appear. This will also change other ranks, such as SCOUT 3 to COOK 5, or PILOT 1 to ATARI 3.

I can confirm the secret rank is ATARI (at least on the PAL version).

Given its difficulty, it was great!! I have beaten it on the easy setting. In order to beat this game is to try not getting hit so much. If something important gets damaged, go to the starbase and repair the damage, but keep in mind that you can only dock with the starbase for a limited number of times, and will be destroyed as a result. Yes, it's tough, but keep at it. Try playing it on the lower difficulty settings and don't give up. The 400/800 version is much harder than this version.

This is a hard game to beat but i will beat it in the future. It's very interesting game to play becouse you have this extra gamepad to play it with. You can se the hole screen shaking when you get a hit. So you can really fell that you are in the spacecraft. I love it and hate it becouse it's so damn hard to beat but i am going to beat it.
