Trivia
Japanese version features different voice acting, including Masako Nozawa from Dragon Ball.
Shares many of the staff from Cliffhanger and later Locked N Loaded. "Lungfish" served as the planner on all three games, and Hiroaki Yoshida served as composer. All three
games can be thought of as one spiritual trilogy.
Conversion
Some conversions of this game to Gunhard/Locked N Loaded exist, but conversions to Dragon Gun are not as easy due to the extra sound processor required. Many of the roms on Locked N Loaded still use Dragon Gun roms; some early Locked N Loaded boards were converted to Dragon Gun.
