* Collect all of the flags on the early levels as there is no great threat from the boots.

* Scroll bombs to the opposite edge of the screen so you can easily collect them and move back to your starting side.

* At the start of each level you get a few seconds where the boots can not move. Make use of this time to get to the first bomb.

* If two bombs are ticking down, get the closest one first unless the other is much closer to exploding.

* Move the floor away from boots to trap them.

* If you trap a boot on a single square, you can move the square away from underneath it, trapping it on empty space.

There are two boards perched above the main board. The first contains two processors ( Z80's ) and an AY-3-8910 sound chip.
