* Extra Super Power-Up : Start a game, don't score any points and survive until you've passed the first pond/fountain, which appears on the left hand side of screen. You restart with 180,000 points, all power-ups & weapons and are advanced much further in the game.

* Helicopter : Start a game, get killed TWICE as soon as possible. You restart with a helicopter sitting on the first left hand side ledge which you can shoot for 170 points.

Brian Troha and Guru corrected rom names for the Slap Fight sets, added PCB locations to any set where possible, added DIP locations and moved PCB information down to matching rom sets. Changed 'Alcon' to parent set 'Alcon (US)' and clones 'Slap Fight (Japan bootleg)' to 'Slap Fight (bootleg set 1)', 'Slap Fight (English bootleg)' to 'Slap Fight (bootleg set 2)', 'Slap Fight (bootleg)' to 'Slap Fight (bootleg set 3)', 'Slap Fight (set 1)' to 'Slap Fight (Japan set 1)' and 'Slap Fight (set 2)' to 'Slap Fight (Japan set 2)'. Renamed (slapbtjp) to (slapfighb1), (slapbtuk) to (slapfighb2) and (slapfgtr) to (slapfighb3).

- 25th June 2010: Guru - The 68705P5 MCU (A77_1) for Slap Fight has now been successfully processed (decap, de-protect & read).

- 14th March 2005: Corrado Tomaselli dumped Slap Fight (set 2).

- 0.34b1: Christoff Feldtmann improved gfx in Slap Fight.

- 0.33b7: Keith Wilkins added accurate colors to Slap Fight. Renamed (slapboot) to (slapbtjp) and (slpboota) to (slapbtuk). Known issues: Scrolling is jerky. Music tempo is too slow.

- 0.33b2: Keith Wilkins added Slap Fight (Taito 1986) and clones (Japanese Bootleg) and (English Bootleg). Due to protection, the original version doesn't work. Scrolling is jerky. Music tempo is too slow. Use one of the bootlegs instead. The three games are identical, only the 1st CPU EPROM is different which shows up in the boot message, one if Japanese domestic and the other is English. The proms which MAY be the original slapfight ones currently give a hardware error and fail to boot.
