Released in July 1982.


First called 'Ram-It', then 'Expander', Reactor was Skelly's first game design upon going independent. Skelly was one of the first independent game designers. He designed a number of games for Gottlieb (none of which were released) before taking an extended break in which he watched horror movies, drank margaritas and wrote a screenplay!


Approximately 1,000 units were produced.

MAME Info:

0.19 [Fabrice Frances]


Samples required


NOTE:

- To start a 1 player game with 7 lives, insert two coins and press BUTTON 2. To start a 2 players game with 7 lives each, insert two coins and press BUTTON 1.


WIP:

- 0.142u2: Robbbert fixed several sound samples not working in Reactor.

- 0.127: Aaron Giles fixed input controls and startup tone in Reactor.

- 0.122u5: Fixed cpu2 roms addresses.

- 0.37b7: Added samples (fx_31, fx_39a - fx_39l and fx_53 - fx_59).

- 0.37b2: Fabrice Frances fixed colors in Reactor. Fixed gfx2 rom loading.

- 0.36b2: Support for new samples in Reactor [Fabrice Frances]. Added samples (fx_31, fx_39a-fx_39l and fx_53-59.wav).

- 0.35RC1: Added 'Free Play' dipswitch.

- 26th March 1999: Juergen Buchmueller fixed the Gottlieb games (Q*Bert, Reactor).

- 0.31: Known issues: Speech is not emulated.

- 0.30: Known issues: The highscores of the 7-lives games are not saved. You see - you can spend 2 credits and get a game with 7 lives, or spend 1 credit and get 3 lives, and each has its own highscore table. Currently, only the 3-lives game table is saved.

- 0.28: Fabrice Frances added *emulated* sound to Q*Bert, Reactor, Krull and Mad Planets. The samples are no longer needed and may be removed. Added sound roms (SND1, SND2).

- 0.26: Patrick Lawrence did a great work adding trackball support to the main core system. Trackball is enable with -trak parameter. Trackball support has been added to Centipede and Reactor. Control: Arrows = Left/Right rotate and CTRL = Fire. Known issues: The game accept coins, but doesn't start.

- 0.25: Control: F1 = Test mode and F2 = Select.

- 0.24: Control: Arrows = Move around, CTRL = Player 1 Energy, ALT = Player 1 Decoy, 1 = Player 2 Energy and 2 = Player 3 Decoy. Known issues: The screen sometimes flips horizzontally and vertically.

- 0.19: Fabrice Frances added support for Reactor (Gottlieb 1982). The screen sometimes flips horizzontally and vertically. The highscores of the 7-lives games are not saved. You see - you can spend 2 credits and get a game with 7 lives, or spend 1 credit and get 3 lives, and each has its own highscore table. Currently, only the 3-lives game table is saved.
