[edit] Atari 2600

[edit] Atari 5200
Developed and published by Sega in 1984. Identical to the Atari 8-bit computer version.
[edit] Atari 400/800/XL/XE
Most likely developed in-house by Sega. Published on cartridge by Sega, and on floppy disk and cassette tape by Datasoft in 1983.

[edit] ColecoVision
Developed and published by Coleco in 1982. The only accurate version developed by Coleco (The Atari 2600 and Intellivision conversions differ dramatically from the arcade in their presentation).
[edit] Commodore 64
Two different versions were developed for the Commodore 64. Both were released in 1984. The Synapse version's gameplay is considered far more fun and accurate to the arcade by players, despite the Sega version's faithfulness in graphical appearance.
