Prerelease	Final

Notice "Level 2 The Rooftops" "Rescue 13 Hostages". Final "Level 2 The Rooftops" "Rescue 14 Hostages", also no password system here in comparsion to the, later(?), prerelease screenshot in the Video Games 11/92 german magazine which has the passwort system shown and "14 Hostages", one more, to rescue, like the final has. So there might be another, later, prerelease version for European promotion.)

Prerelease	Final

An article about deadly game scenes includes, on Page 40, a screenshot with graphics not found in the final game. It seems to have been meant as the intermission screen for "Level 2 - The Rooftops", as it has the same password and objective.
