A fantastic 8-bit port of the arcade classic. Cool stuff!

Since Vic Tokai published the game in the United States, the copyright info was expanded to include both Vic Tokai and Nichibutsu copyrights, the mandatory Nintendo of America license and it was recolored from gold to lilac. Also, a TM was added next to the game's logo.
For some reason, the title screen says 1985 (the release year of the arcade original) in the US version.
Music#
The US version "beefed up" the entire soundtrack, probably to make it sound less shrill.
Note that both versions are based on the YM3526 version of the soundtrack.
