Bugs:
- The original game likely used a black and white monitor with an overlay. Jonemaan (ID 01064)
WIP:
- 0.141u4: Made Space Zap black & white. It uses an overlay for colors, the MAME artwork team will probably take care of that part [hap]. Removed 4-way Joystick and changed buttons from 1 to 5.
- 0.123u3: Added 2x 'Unused' dipswitches.
- 0.115u2: Changed visible area to 352x240.

- 26th November 2006: Mr. Do - We have Space Zap, vectorized by Zorg. This game is seriously fun, if you've never tried it before.
- 0.88u2: Removed 2nd Astrocade sound.
- 0.59: Added 2nd player and 'Cabinet' dipswitch.
- 31st October 2001: Stephane Humbert fixed cocktail mode in Space Zap.
- 0.34b4: Emulation of the Astrocade sound chip (Extra Bases, Gorf, Robby Roto, Space Zap and Wizard of Wor) [Frank Palazzolo]. Added 2x Astrocade sound.
- 0.28: Mike Balfour added high score saving to Space Zap.
- 0.26: Mike Coates improved Space Zap.
