- 0.53: David Graves added Night Striker (US) (Taito 1989).
- 0.37b11: David Graves added Night Striker (US) (Testdriver). Known issues: No road. Control stick unsatisfactory: there is a "dead patch" around stick center (in case the centering of the arcade stick wasn't very good?) so your movement gets very sluggish there. Use a lookup table to eliminate dead patch? Strange page in test mode which lets you alter all sorts of settings that may relate to some sort of sit-in cockpit version of game? CPUA int4 at $11c0 calls sub which writes to control stick area requesting a/d conversion. When done this hardware causes int6 ($106xx) which reads out the value from the hardware and also requests another a/d conversion, causing another int6... maybe 4 per frame to get all the necessary values. Bshark stick works in a similar way.
