The game was released as an arcade cartridge (MVS), a home cartridge (AES), as well as for the Neo Geo CD console. The Neo Geo version was later re-released as part of the SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 compilation for the PS2, Wii and PSP, as well as for the Wii Virtual Console.[2]
A version for the Neo Geo Pocket Color was later released in North America in 1999. The NGPC version features less detailed, cartoonish graphics compared to the Neo Geo version.[3]
