[edit] Amstrad CPC

Ported and published by Grandslam for Europe in 1988. Very similar to the Commodore 64 version.

[edit] Atari Lynx

Published by Atari Corp. in 1991. Despite the unavoidable reduction in screen resolution, a fairly accurate conversion of the arcade game.

[edit] Atari ST

Ported by Mr. Micro and published in Europe by Grandslam in 1989. Very similar to the Commodore Amiga version.

[edit] Commodore 64

Ported by Grandslam, but published by Quicksilva in Europe in 1988

[edit] Commodore Amiga

Ported by Mr. Micro and published in Europe by Grandslam in 1989. Very similar to the Atari ST version.

[edit] Famicom

Developed and published by Namco for Japan in 1985. Possibly one of the most altered versions of the arcade game developed, the Famicom version of the game took on a life of it's own, with unique secrets and hidden power ups.

[edit] MSX

Ported and published by Grandslam for Europe in 1988. Very similar to the ZX SPectrum version.

[edit] TurboGrafx-16

Published by NEC Technologies in 1990. Easily one of the most pixel accurate and game-play accurate conversions of the arcade game ever developed for a home system. However, the following changes have been made:

• The game does not feature parallax scrolling (no trees obscure your view in the forests.)
• The game has a few cutscenes that occur between trips.
• The game has an actual ending that occurs after Trip 8.
• The game then provides the player with a Pro mode that starts over from Trip 1, but with the difficulty of the arcade game's Trip 9.
• During the Pro game, several colors are changed, and the fairies look different (for example, one fairy looks a little like a baseball player.)
• A secret options menu and sound test mode can be accessed by pressing and hold Button I & II while pressing RUN.

[edit] ZX Spectrum

Ported and published by Grandslam for Europe in 1989. Very similar to the MSX version.
