Sega Star Trek Questions - Battlestar???

[MK DUD]

I finally got my Star Trek UR to live (Thanks Ed! Your advice helped!), but I
was wondering about a couple things:

I seem to remeber this game retaining high scores back in the days when I
played it in the arcade. Does the G-80 system have a high score memory??
Was "Battlestar" actually made? Does anyone know of a boardset, or have
one? I found a scrap of graph paper deep inside the cabinet of my Star Trek
(near the front edge, kind of crumpled, probably in the machine since it was
first made).
This paper looks like a rough drawing of a wiring diagram and lists "Battlestar
x/y timing board, Battlestar rom board, etc... I wondered whether Sega actually
produced the game "Battlestar", or if this was just a drawing from some tech
that found it's way to the machine when it was in production.

------------------------------

"Battlestar" was proabably a prototype name for Eliminator and might have been
used as a proto name for a couple other X-Y games early in development. The
Convert-A-Game flyer that shows a "Battlestar" cabinet has an unfinished game
playing on the screen called "Space Disc Launcher". If the ROMs for "Space
Disc Launcher" are ever located, they will probably be added to the Sega X-Y
multigame hack.

Nope. They probably just didn't turn it off. ;-)

I don't know if anyone really got to the bottom of that or not. At one
point we were kinda figuring it was the development name for something
(maybe Space Fury?). Meatball (for example) was just the internal name for
Eliminator. (The "death bagel" as we call it was called the "meatball" but
the programmers...)

The only game that I know of with the name Battlestar or
Battlestar Galactica is my custom made pinball.
I have the ONLY one in exsistance.

I would LOVE to see some Battlestar Galactica games.
Please let me know if you find any I have missed.
