Maybe you've heard of the Defender III hoax, which had 17 pages of enemies in the non-existent game. Actually there was a proto, but it was nothing like that at all. Defender III was planned to be released around 1990 as a conversion kit for Nintendo Vs. Dualsystem cabinets supporting 2-player link play. The PCB is a Williams Y Unit like the hardware that Smash TV used. A dedicated cabinet was also designed, which would have been a sit-down one similar to Atari Games' Steel Talons. Both
Narc is not an unfair game, but rather a good challenge. Being a bit greedy helps so you can rack up some extra lives (every 100,000). You'll also get a free rocket with every 1up. Stage 3 (the bridge) is a great place for this- I had a 610K EOS bonus there. This was done on the default difficulty, 3/10.

Namco had some of their System 2 board sets left over when they decided to move the Final Lap series to System R for its next game. Unfortunately, fighting games were stiff competition for most other genres at
A good no-miss run up until the botch job on the final boss kill (nope, no Counter Burst finish there... sorry.) Placed 2nd on local rankings for H-route & Genesis. This would likely have been my new 1st place for H-route local ranking if not for that.
