Regional Differences

In the Japanese release, the player controls Mikhail Gorbachev (nicknamed "Gorby"), while the European and Brazilian versions have identical gameplay minus some of the Soviet overtones (nicknamed "Sovertones"). Some guy who's not Gorby is still breaking into a factory to give people free Game Gears though, so it remains pretty socialist.

Title Screen

The Japanese title screen is extremely sparse, while the international version was fancied up a bit with a depiction of the evil polluting factory some guy is about to righteously invade. The text was moved a bit so as not to obscure the new background.

Player Character

In-game and in cutscenes, the main character has seen a marginally complete makeover to make him look unlike any contemporary Soviet leaders.
