This is a game I enjoy playing on coin-op or mame. But I have always used an 8-way controller for this title. The 8-way controller allows me to do a back-jump up to the platform above, (pushing diagonal-up), opposite of the direction my car is traveling. And most of the time I use this maneuver, it is timed slightly after I change directions. Comes in handy for later stages when the platforms are small and I need to get back to the top.
I am currently putting together a cabinet with this pcb and was searching for a manual or schematic. Found a manual online and noticed Jaleco has a 4-way joystick listed in the manual.
So I am wondering if the back-jump maneuver was never designed by Jaleco when making the game back in 1985. I am unable to do the move with a 4-way joystick.
Just curious if anybody else plays this game on coin-op or mame?
And what setup do you use for a controller? 4-way or 8-way?
