NES
Developed by SNK and published in Japan for the Famicom in 1988. Published in North America for the NES by Data East around the same time. This version provides players with a health meter, as well as the added feature of collecting "zeny" as currency. This money was then spent at a store also unique to the NES port where the player could buy improved weaponry and armor. The NES version emulates the controls of the arcade version by locking the facing of the character in one direction for as long as the "fire" button was depressed.
