Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Zaxxon Arcade 20 waves (747,950)

The goal is to reach the 'GIVE UP' stage (wave 20).

-You can have 4 bullets on the screen at the same time, but you have to wait 50 frames to shoot again.
-You can shoot the 4 bullets at 30 bullets per second. If it were not for the cool down time, this game would have been too easy.
-If you fly under the 1st mark on the altimeter (at about 1/2 or 3/4) instead of going all the way down, you can shoot the turrets but they cannot shoot you and also you will not collide with them.
-The robot at the end of a stage need 6 hits on the missile to take him down.
-Did you know that if you shoot the planes on the ground you will have less planes to shoot in the space section?
-The first and last wall opening is positioned at random.
-The RNG is dependent of the position of the player. I manipulated the RNG by moving the plane a little before the wall appear so that for the opening was where I wanted it to be.
-The turret after the first small wall is really hard to get. It took me a while to find a pattern to get him.
-This TAS is not perfect, there is some turret that I start shooting only from the wave 10.
