- TRIVIA -
Released in June 1995.
The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to a smiley, and 'THAT IS WRONG' appears.
Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Strikers 1945 II, Strikers 1945 - SGCD-0001) on 20/12/1997.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

* Unlock Extra Maintenance : if you hold Test Button + PL1 Button 1 during boot, you get extra options in the test menu. A level skip, BG test usually etc...

* Sexy Pilots Images & Names : if you make a perfect score, you can see how the sexy pilots look and what their names are. In practice, this means getting three gold medals at the end of each stage (for time, accuracy and completion). This should be done in the first loop of the game, the pilot of the plane you chose will be seen at the end of this first loop. Two pilots will be seen if it's a two-player game. The pilots can also be seen in the Extra Maintenance menu.

- Protection in s1945, sngkblade
- Flip Screen support

WIP :
- 0.135u4: Added includes\psikyo.h. Fabio Priuli added driver data struct and save states to Psikyo driver.

- 0.102u5: AWJ fixed soundlatch and coin port in the Psikyo driver.
- 0.69u3: Bug fix to loop addressing on YMF278B which helps stablise the tuning on looped samples (noticable in parts of s1945 at least) [OpenMSX].
- 0.62: Preliminary YMF278B emulation (missing FM support) [R. Belmont].
- 20th August 2002: Paul Priest improved all the region switches in the Psikyo drivers.
- 13th August 2002: Olivier Galibert fixed some minor bugs in the Psikyo driver.
