NES

Kemco bought the rights to convert and release this game on the Famicom, which they did on March 27, 1987. They later announced a conversion of this release for the North American market, but it was never published, possibly due to poor sales of the original game on the NES platform. This version is the most altered version of all. The trapulator is removed from the screen completely. The health bar is smaller, and some of the traps have been changed; To set a snare, the player must lasso a palm tree, and coconuts cannot be burried as bombs, but rather as traps by climbing up trees, causing the coconut to fall on the head of any spy that passes by. Players can hold the B button to run, and while running, press A to jump.
