afighter: MAME ROM Information.


History:

Action Fighter (c) 1986 Sega.


An overhead driving / shoot'em up game from Sega which borrows heavily from Bally Midway's 1983 classic, "Spy Hunter". The player begins the game riding a motorbike. In subsequent levels a sportscar, a beach buggy, a boat, a chopper and even a Formula-1 racing car can all be driven. All of the vehicles are, of course, fully armed to deal with the many enemy vehicles and gun emplacements intent on stopping the player's progress. The helicopter levels play as a straightforward vertically-scrolling shoot'em up and bear more than a passing resemblance to Namco's "Xevious".

MAME Info:

0.74u2 [?]


Bugs:

- 2nd players graphics not correct in cocktail mode. jbaronas88 (ID 01857)


WIP:

- 0.127u1: Atari Ace moved FD1089 decryption keys to external files. Added 317-0018.key to Action Fighter.

- 0.125u7: Changed description to 'Action Fighter (FD1089A 317-0018)'.

- 0.104u6: Chaneman fixed dipswitches in Action Fighter. Added dipswitches 'Bonus Life', 'Difficulty' and 'Allow Continue'.

- 0.92: Added dipswitches 'Cabinet', 'Demo Sounds' and 'Lives'.

- 0.90u1: Charles MacDonald added complete FD1089A table to Action Fighter (317-0018) - Game now playable. Fixed cpu1/gfx2 rom loading.

- 3rd January 2005: Aaron Giles - A bit sooner than I expected! Nicola submitted the first pass at the FD1089A/B decryption, and it's quite impressive. There are a number of new games this enables, including Action Fighter and Dunk Shot, as well as a number of alternate versions of Alien Syndrome, Alex Kidd, SDI, Time Scanner, and Aurail. Luckily, as Charles guessed, Action Fighter seems to work fine on MAME, without the graphics issues he mentioned on his site. The game appears to be something of a Spy Hunter ripoff, letting you pilot various vehicles, chasing down bad guys. Dunk Shot needed some tweaking to get working, but it's fully playable now as well, including controls for all four players. All the new variants of existing games are hooked up now and their controls are working. Hopefully I'll get the chance to finish up the sprite consolidation in the next couple of days so that I can submit this giant updated mass of goodness!

- 0.89u1: Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 4MHz.

- 0.88u7: Changed description to 'Action Fighter, FD1089A 317-0018'. Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 5MHz, screen orientation to vertical, visible area to 224x320 and palettesize to 6144 colors. Added dipswitches 'Coin A', 'Coin B' and 8x 'Unknown'.

- 0.74u2: Added Action Fighter (Sega 198?).
