Atari FLASHBACK2 CX-2600 - Manual (Page 101)

Hints
When you destroy the Qotile, or a Swirl, there will be an explosion, during which the Yar stays on the
screen. Use this opportunity to make up your own victory dance. And watch out for the Ghost of Yars!
You'll see his mean streak, so stay off it!
The Qotile continually changes colors. The color sequence is your cue to the appearance of a Swirl,
and gives you warning to plan your attack and defense.
If you fly over the Qotile as it changes to a Swirl, it will destroy you, so be careful.
When you think you are a tough avenger, switch the difficulty to A, and then try Ultimate Yars!
