Batman
The name came from a misunderstanding of a telephone conversation.
Also, on the cabinet, yellow and magenta colors were inverted by
mistake.
Zero / Tornado
Version (emulated in MAME) of french clone by Jeutel.
It was distribuited with two names; Zero, like the PCB used for dumping, and Tornado, as written in a flyer..
Moon Cresta
There's two unindentified bootlegs in MAME already: one of these
may be Amtec clone.
Looping (Videogames GmbH)
You cin read an interview with Giorgio Ugozzoli on
this Mamedev page.
This game does not show up in the games list, because was never
branded by Amtec.
It was developed in Italy. The software was written by three
programmers, under the direction of Ugozzoli. Ugozzoli designed the
hardware, a derivative work from Supertank, first game of Videogames
GmbH, who marketed Looping in 1982.
