Notes

[1] Almost every 1990 scene release of this game had the very same characteristic: it was created from an unfinished BETA, that's why the monsters that would normally appear in some later levels with the coin-op releases didn't show up at all. Only very few scene groups were aware of this fact and created their release from the final version.

[2] Distributed in Italy by Leader and in Germany by Bomico.

Conversion Notes

Based on 1989 Mitchell coin-op. Known in the U.S. and released on CD-ROM as Buster Bros and in Japan as "Pomping World".

During the game type:

ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok pang is good for you” (including spaces, but sans quotation marks)
