Build Dates

At the beginning of the PRG ROM, an ID string can be found that lists the game version and date:

RC809 1,0 860107

(Version 1.0, compiled on January 7, 1986.)

A similar ID string can be found in a few other Konami games.

Revisional Differences

The Disk System version replaced the old Konami logo and the copyright date was updated.

Stage 2

In the Famicom version, Mikey begins Stage 2 by dropping down next to a jet stream. Since this could easily cause the player to be injured by accident if no heat-resistant clothing had been obtained, the starting position in the Disk System version was changed.
