Released by Taito in 1991. This version contains a few departures from the arcade version. It contains various weapons for the player to use, including a shotgun, a machine gun and grenades. Due to the lack of color, doors containing documents are signified by "!" instead of a red door, while doors marked with "?" provide one random weapon. The small screen size requires you to move left and right to explore the more maze-like building, where you may sometimes be unable to find the last door. However, the game is generally easier with the addition of health, and allowing the player to cross elevator cables, and permitting a one floor drop without damage.
