Trivia

The game is based on the exploits of revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara and the defeat of the Batista regime in Cuba in the late 1950s. The original Japanese title of Guerrilla War was Guevara. However, fearing extreme anti-Communist sentiments in the West, SNK did a regionalization of the game's dialogue and instruction manual for its US and European releases.
