ROMs is on this page. Code Mystics gave it out.
Hit that big ? button on the screen and then click on the word ROMs. It will lit up when you point at it with the arrow.
"This ROM set has been made available with the consent of its co-author,
Larry DeMar.
ConquestA.ROM loads at $0000-$8FFF
ConquestB.ROM loads at $D000-$FFFF
Being an early prototype, these ROM images have a large amount of empty space.
CMOS is at $CC00-$CFFF, but it appears to expect 8-bits rather than the usual
4-bit CMOS for a Williams game.
Architecture is similar to Robotron (including interrrupts, raster counter,
etc.) but doesn't use a blitter.
Unique PIA functions:
$C804: Bit 0 = Fire
Bit 1 = Thrust
Bit 2-3 = Bits 2-3 of encoder wheel
Bit 4 = 2P Start
Bit 5 = 1P Start
$C806: Bits 0-1 = Bits 0-1 of encoder wheel
Bit 7 = Cocktail (unused)
The prototype appears to use the Defender's sound ROM.
Game play:
Basic game play has a ship that moves in a 2D scrolling world with scanner,
similar to Sinistar. Rotate, shoot and thrust. Destroy "Planets" while
avoiding or destroying their hums. A wave ends when all planets are
destroyed. There is no attract mode implemented so the ROM simply displays
a solid colour-shifting background until 1P Start or 2P Start is pressed.
Play an emulation of this ROM set at http://www.codemystics.com/conquest.%22
I played it on the browser. Using a keyboard to play.

No, to the best of my knowledge, the Vid Kidz Conquest and the Tago Electronic Conquest are completely unrelated.
Even the page you linked said this.
Quote:
During our research, we also found an arcade flyer showing a game of the very same name and which looks very similar to the Vid Kidz game, but was a pure co-incidence.
Here's what we had about the complete coincidence, completely unrelated Tago Electronics version, and its version as Stern's Journey.
Quote:
No relation to Journey by Stern which became Conquest by Tago. VidKidz/Williams Conquest is a different game: horizontal; spinner, 2 buttons. Stern Journey = Tago Conquest, which is vertical with 4 buttons.
Williams/Vid Kidz Journey:

Stern Journey:

Tago Electronics Conquest:

I actually don't know why we couldn't have the ROMs those guys made for Williams/Vid Kidz Conquest in MAME itself instead of HBMAME, for what it's worth. Is it modified somehow?

I copy it and then paste it into williams.cpp for MAME. Game only have a start button. No coin button.
