Ultra Vortek fans and players! If you read rec.games.video.atari, you've
probably seen Vaultkeeper's exhaustive UV FAQ. We've been amazed at how fast the
UV moves and codes have spread on the Internet, and it seems natural to put a
FAQ here compiled by players rather than a cheat sheet of our own. Vaultkeeper
wrote and updates this list, so if you have additions or corrections you should
mail them to him.

Section One


This is the Jaguar's second fighting attempt and I must say it really
kicks butt! It consists of seven playable characters ranging from robots to
humans with extraordinary powers. By combining the graphics of MK with the
gameplay of SF2 this game is really a winner. Enough talk. There are fatalities
in this game known as "Annihilations" as well as background "Annihilations" in
which the background interacts and kills your opponent. One last thing... each
character has multiple "annihilations."
