Try it out:

Assuming you now have a game on the screen, coin-up and play around for a minute. The Star Trek control panel is used like so:

Game

Spinner

“Warp”

“Photon”

“Thrust”

“Fire”

Star Trek

rotate

warp

photon

thrust

fire

Eliminator

-

rotate left

rotate right

thrust

fire

Space Fury

-

rotate left

rotate right

thrust

fire

Tac/Scan

rotate

-

-

add ship

fire

Zektor

rotate

-

-

thrust

fire

You may have noticed that “thrust” and “fire” are reversed from how the control panel is labeled. If you like, open your control panel and swap wires or switches on “thrust” and “fire”. Do that with the power off, just in case. (There’s a technical reason for having to swap wires, but I won’t go into it. Trust me.)

Time to try the multigame functions. Press the red “test” switch on the CPU card. You should get a title screen for the multigame. Press the “player 1” start button to go to the menu screen. Press the “player 1” start button to move the selection arrows to a game to play. Press “player 2” start to begin that game. If you put the arrows on “-more-“ you can switch to the second menu. The available options are currently:

know why. Your mileage may vary.
