Does anyone here know how many screens the arcade version had, and where there might be a good website about the arcade version?

Not a ton of info but:

That said, I'm also pretty sure you may have seen that.

An interesting tidbit:
The arcade flyer shows a couple screens that are different from the final version.

I never figured out how to get past the first screen, so I have no idea. All I know is, I enjoy the game.

Thanks, Raccoon Lad! So it does have four screens- and there it is.

I asked because I recently aquired the ColecoVision version.

It's a curious game. Many 1984 games, such as Bump `N Jump and Burgertime were excellent arcade-to-home or arcade style games, but this one looks like one of the inferior 1983 batch, along the lines of Space Fury or such. Why was the fourth screen dropped; it doesn't exactly do anything the others didn't.
