Version differences

• DifficultyFamicom (JP)

  In the Famicom version, enemies become aggressive after about three minutes, much sooner than in the arcade, and the music does not change when it happens.¹

• GraphicsSG-1000

  Sega's SG-1000 version draws the hero entirely in brown and the enemies in blue without hats, and drops the opening scene where the spy lands on the roof on a rope.¹

• GameplayGame Boy

  The Game Boy version is closer to a remix: it adds a health bar, new enemies such as dogs and robots, special weapons from question-mark doors and a final bonus stage where the hero climbs up to rescue a heroine.¹

• DifficultyGame Boy (JP)Game Boy (overseas)

  The Japanese Game Boy cartridge loops after every four stages and the overseas one after six; the overseas version is also easier than the arcade.¹

• GameplayArcade

  The arcade original loops every four stages. After a time limit, the music changes, enemies speed up and more enemies come out of the red doors.¹
