Sega G-80 Multigame, Version 1.0

Try it out:
Assuming you now have a game on the screen, coin-up and play around for a minute. The Star Trek
control panel is used like so:
Game
Spinner
“Warp”
“Photon”
“Thrust”
“Fire”
Star Trek
rotate
warp
photon
thrust
fire
Eliminator
-
rotate left
rotate right
thrust
fire
Space Fury
-
rotate left
rotate right
thrust
fire
Tac/Scan
rotate
-
-
add ship
fire
Zektor
rotate
-
-
thrust
fire
You may have noticed that “thrust” and “fire” are reversed from how the control panel is labeled. If you
like, open your control panel and swap wires or switches on “thrust” and “fire”. Do that with the power
off, just in case. (There’s a technical reason for having to swap wires, but I won’t go into it. Trust me.)
Time to try the multigame functions. Press the red “test” switch on the CPU card. You should get a title
screen for the multigame. Press the “player 1” start button to go to the menu screen. Press the “player
1” start button to move the selection arrows to a game to play. Press “player 2” start to begin that game.
If you put the arrows on “-more-“ you can switch to the second menu. The available options are
currently:
