If a player tries to put any of those names in, it'll be replaced by one of the following:

Version Differences
There are at least three different versions: The Japanese set, the World set, and the Japanese "Export" set. For some strange reason, the Export set still contains the exportation warning found in the Japanese version.
Title
JP / Export | World |
---|---|
The game's subtitle is "The Freedom Fighter" in the JP and Export sets, and "The Phantom Fighter" in the World version.
Graphics
World / JP | Export |
---|---|
The main difference between the Export and other sets is that in the Export version, every Balkenkreuz and Swastika has been erased. This changes the game from an explicit World War II theme to a more generic plane-centered shoot 'em up.
World / JP | |
---|---|
Export |
This also applies to six of the game's enemies, including that flag on the teeny tiny tank.
