The game was converted for play on the [[PC Engine]] and published by [[Aicom]] in [[1989]]. However, this is not a straight port. While the core fighting mechanic is largely unchanged, the layout of levels and presentation of bosses has largely been altered. More RPG elements like experience points have been introduced, and fallen foes drop money which can be spent on upgrades and health recovery items between levels. As the PC Engine only offered controls with two buttons at this time, the two attack buttons were reduced to one, and Shingen attacks in whatever direction the player is facing. | The game was converted for play on the [[PC Engine]] and published by [[Aicom]] in [[1989]].
