Bosconian - Star Destroyer (1981)

A space shooting game where the player must destroy several enemy bases on each round while evading enemy ships, asteroids and mines. Enemy bases are destroyed either with a shot to the center or by shooting out all 6 base cannons. The player's ship is always positioned in the center of the screen with everything else scrolling around it as the player flies. A radar map to the right shows the position of the player, enemy bases, and occasional formation attack groups.

Is there a dip switch that lets you be invincible?

@nutherefurlong

actually, if you hit the tab key after you start the game go to cheats. But you first must download the lastest cheat file from pugsy's website if you are using the lastest version of mame.
