What do you mean, there's no relation? They are
both William's titles...and
Whups... Sorry. I occassionally get sensitive about my last name, and
when I was younger, I was the butt of a lot of jokes centered around my
name and that game. (Sinasohn, Sinistar.)
Sinistar is the addition of 2 SRAMs, a different
interface board (for dual

Robotron also had dual joysticks, so perhaps that was the same on both games?
