Good to know that will be another 1980 era game to be eventually playable.

iirc, it had to be 10 years earlier or more where one or two posters posting on old MAME.net site about why MAMEdevs weren't emulating that game and the poster(s) were guessing it was no problem of emulating that game. This was probably another of the few games where hardware protection was pretty good and was not easy to work out unless having some hardware rig setup and a working pcb of the game to get data results in order to determine the hardware protection routine. Maybe protection isn't on level of Seibu or Atari, but it did its job because I don't believe any bootlegs of the game have turned up in MAME source code as of this time.
