Chopper. Get to it.
Predator for the NES is loosely based on the MSX2 version of the game. It even reuses many graphics, as well as most of the music from that game.
Level Skip
To skip a "normal mode" level, hold Left + Right and press A or B. To skip a "big mode" level, hold Up + Down and wait until the normal level number screen appears. Note that these codes are impossible to enter on a properly-functioning NES controller.
Unused Text
The Japanese version contains some unused text strings for a sample version, which were removed from all other releases.

Gameplay
To do: List all gameplay differences. |
The Japanese version is harder and also starts the player in Big Mode 1, whereas the USA version was made a little easier and starts the player at one of the normal action levels. The NES version's instruction manual actually tells the player that they start in Big Mode 1.
