Hi everyone,
I recently came across a few screenshots of this undumped game in an early Japanese game magazine (AM Life), and thought it might be worth posting them here. Unfortunately, they're in black and white and are pretty blurry (the original scanner kind of messed the whole thing up), but I tried to touch them up a bit. There's also a brief article about the game, which basically describes it as your typical "deep sea diver/treasure salvage" type, where you attempt to dive down and then bring the treasure back up, avoiding deadly fish, mines, octopus, etc. before running out of air. Not too surprising, as that's exactly what the front of the game's flyer indicated as well.

Very interesting! It seems that they even (mostly) copied the basic style of UPL's original flyer, as well.
It's a shame that this game was seemingly released in both Japan and the U.S., but neither version has ever turned up for preservation.

Good find and thanks too. Hopefully a pcb can be found.
Bobby Tribble had the entry

listed in the UPL page section when there used to be many multiple entries before he removed the page and placed the entries in main page.
The amusing anecdote about this game name entry was many years earlier when no one had known what the gameplay was like nor any actual flyer for reference. So Bobby T. decided to jokingly say provide a phony description of: a game from the rap artist ICE Cube's movie "Friday".
A couple folks actually thought it was an arcade game that Ice Cube had a hand in developing it to be game that had something to do with the movie. Heh. I had a laugh at that when someone was posting that guess back then.
