- TRIVIA -
Released in December 1985.
The first of Capcom's 'Jet-Pack Hero' shooters! Your hero is officially called "Captain Commando". :)
Section Z has a couple of bugs, sprites don't clip properly when scrolling on or off the left side of the screen or the top of the screen.
Every few sections (stages), the direction of the game's scrolling changes, from left-to-right, to bottom-to-top, to right-to-left, etc.
One section features a pinball machine in which you must avoid the multiple flying pinballs.
Alfa Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Capcom Game Music - 28XA-94) on 25/08/1986.

WIP:
- 18th August 2010: Smitdogg - Dave France sent what appeared to be an undumped Section Z. The roms matched a set in MAME, which is labeled incorrectly. We'll get the roms and description fixed in the driver though and I'll resell it for funds after I get around to testing it.
- 0.138u2: Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 3MHz
- 0.138u1: Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 4MHz.

- 0.37b6: Added prom ($0 - timing).

- 0.29: Paul Leaman added Section Z (Capcom 1985). Known issues: The colors should be accurate, but the color space is downgraded from 4x4x4 to 3x3x2.
