Editions The arcade edition, released by SNK in 1987, followed the highly successful format for overhead arcade shooters that SNK had pioneered with its landmark Ikari Warriors (1986). Using eight-way rotating joysticks, the game allowed players to move their character in one direction while rotating the joystick in order to shoot in another. The game was moderately successful, and spawned ports onto home video game systems. In 1988, SNK released home editions on the Commodore 64 home computer and the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)/Famicom 8-bit console. Because of the limits of the home console, the home editions did not have the rotating joysticks. However, the NES/Famicom editions proved to be very well adapted to the system and more popular than the arcade edition. The NES version's two-player simultaneous play, unlimited continues, and frantic action gave it an edge over its arcade predecessor.
