History


Arcade Video game published 38 years ago:

Black Hole (c) 1981 TDS (Tokyo Denshi Sekkei).

- TRIVIA -

Released in April 1981.

This game was a very large flop as people thought it "wasn't very interesting" and had some "weird point methods" (Going through the point ships looked like sexual intercourse for some people, therefore making the game a laughing matter for most people.)

- SCORING -

Flying saucers : 6000 points.
Neutron mines : 2001 points.
Neutron mine layers : 9999 points.
