Here's "COSMIC RAIDERS 2019.zip" (early VideoCADE #2019 New Year's present) anyway.
 
Check the names of the different fighter patterns - Type-2 and Type-4 might be switched.  And notice that the BOMB-Explosion is NOT used for the Bomb!

Contains the infamous "LD  A,$F0 / OUT  ($CC),A" (BASIC equivalant "&(204)=240") which fooled [some few] into believing there was a MYSTIC register hidden in their machine's hardware.  Probably just a command to turn off a Printer, UART or Electronic Module in the test bed instead.
 
Also included is an updated "HVGLIB.H" where I finally corrected the FIRSTC and NORMEM comments ... surprised no one called me on that!!  Updated the "FonT BASE character" comment again, also the URINAL memory cell since we now have empirical data on that in TERSE/Addin_Mar1979.pdf (which is not TERSE but may have come from TERSE source originally ??).  They were probably right to change the COUNTER UPDATE & NUMBER TRACKING equate - I was shocked to see that abbreviation written down!!1!  Break that out and replace the old HVGLIB.H on Bally Alley for me.

Here's another stab at finishing "HVGLIB.H" v.3.02 if you could replace the one in "Cosmic Raiders 2019.zip" before posting it to Bally Alley, thanks.
