Note

The SRAM save function mentioned on the Japanese box requires the Game Master 2 cartridge, which was never officially offered in Europe.

The ROM for the Japanese and European editions are identical. The games story line will be in Japanese on a Japanese MSX and in English otherwise.

The arcade port, which was initially called Salamander in Japan and Life Force elsewhere and later in Japan, is the significantly different game.
