The 26th Z (Japan, location test) — About this game
The 26th Z (Japan, location test) is an exact registered version in this game family. The Alphax Z moves its space fighter through waves of enemies before confronting a larger ship that withstands repeated attacks. Its enemy formations mix spacecraft with unusual mice, cats and skulls. Defeating the larger opponent begins another cycle, so the changing waves must be learned as well as the sustained attack needed at the end. Version-specific changes to characters, stages, timing, difficulty, balance, graphics or hidden content are not inferred where the registration does not document them.
