No move - Letter "N"

Moves are not accepted at this point on
+ easy difficulty, although a score may still be awarded at this time.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Moves colored red require particular timing and are
+only correct when performed at the right time, as explained in their comments. They
+will cause death if performed too early (or too late).
+Moves colored purple will cause a
+subsequent software error or glitch.
+
+Diagonals:
+When two joystick directions are listed as correct (such as U L), diagonal movement in
+these directions is also correct, unless otherwise noted. (Yes, this has always been
+an 8-way joystick game, with the software processing diagonal input separately and distinctly.)
+
+Timing:
+All moves listed in the chart will cause their indicated results during the time frame when the
+correct move is acceptable. Before this time frame begins (and after the previous move),
+some correct moves and "death moves" may instead cause a buzz, and some "buzz moves" may
+instead cause death.
+NOTE: Keep in mind that certain DIP switch settings may cause the difficulty to
+increase mid-game.
+NOTE: All scenes begin with an automatic award of 49 points.

These scores are obtained by allowing both 9-level elevator floors to drop 7 or more levels.
+The 3-life and 5-life scores are obtained by losing all lives but one at the last sword move of the game.
+
+However, these maximum scores can still be exceeded
+
+
+ — See the bonus video below for a score of 999,999! —
Using unlimited lives, the game can be manipulated into ending with an exact score of 999,999.
+This video explains how to do it, even on a public game without access to the DIP switch setting for unlimited lives.
+(At one million points, the 6-digit score display rolls back to zero.)
