Flip your CRT (or monitor) on its side to play in the Master System's first game to support TATE mode for a totally unique experience! Or just play it normally for that classic home console feel!
Pop in your FM Sound Unit and enjoy the Yamaha 2413 arrangements of the tunes in-game!
Fight your hardest to rack up a high score! Your score will even be saved for the next time you play!
It's Space Tonbow!
