Developed by Taito and released in Japan in 1980 for the Japanese version of this console (the MPT-03). Planned for release in the United States but ultimately canceled.

Famicom[edit]

Ported and published directly by Nichibutsu at the very end of 1986. It is the most enhanced version with slightly upgraded graphics from the arcade version, and 8 regular buildings instead of 4. The 8 buildings also contain secret rooms where platforms must be jumped on, and if all 8 normal building are completed, the game presents the player with 4 extra super buildings. The game was played by holding two control pads, rotated 90 degrees. The game was shipped with add-ons that could be attached to the traditional Famicom control pads, which would essentially turn the direction pads into small joysticks, but these were not necessary to play.

WonderSwan[edit]
