Knocking out ships : 50-100 points (first two attempts)
Landing in top docks : points above docking station
Safely Landing on the ground : 500 points
Point values increase as you become more successful.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Use rockets to get up faster. Lay off the rockets only to get around a moving mine or to avoid ramming an enemy ship.
* Spend as little time underneath a ship as you can. Enemy shots move quickly in this game.
* When you start going downward, don't go sideways until after you've hit one of the upper level ships. Your ship isn't immune to the sides of the docking station.
* Again, use the rockets. Again, missiles move fast and it is best to be speeding away from the ships. You also get to the ground faster.

MAME Info:
0.79u1 [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
WIP:
- 0.145u1: hap fixed missing sfx in Space Launcher.
- 0.141u1: Qwi Jibo fixed Space Launcher - Game now playable. Fixed I8085 inte callback not being called when the IE flag was cleared after the CPU received an interrupt. This fixes interrupts in Space Launcher.
- 0.82u2: Stefan Jokisch decided to add the color prom from Space Fever to Space Launcher.
- 0.80u2: Stefan Jokisch properly hooked up correct I8035 sound CPU and SN76477 sound (needs to be verified) and support colors in Space Launcher (needs its color PROM dumped). Implemented red screen flash. Added cocktail mode and documented diagnostic ROM location. Changed 8080 CPU1 clock speed to 2016000 Hz, palettesize from 2 to 8 colors and added dipswitches 'Bonus Life' and 4x 'Unused'.
- 0.79u1: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added Space Launcher (Nintendo 1979).
