Revisional Differences

The game was rereleased by Nintendo of America in 1996 as part of their "Players Choice" series. As JVC was no longer involved in publishing duties, a few changes were made.

1992	1996

The very first screen changed "JVC" to "NINTENDO".

1992	1996

The copyright info on the main menu was also altered: "LICENSED BY NINTENDO" became "LICENSED TO NINTENDO", and "LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT" was changed to "LUCASFILM LTD."
