Commodore 64/128[edit]

Developed by Ocean Software under Taito America Corporation's license and released in 1988; this version has smaller sprites than the arcade does, giving smaller targets for the player to fire on. It supports play by either a NEOS Mouse or a joystick plugged into Port 2 - and if the player should choose the second of these, they will be given two extra magazines of ammunition. The gameplay is simplified, with enemies following fewer entrance patterns and similar vehicles not stacking together; the enemies also do not flash before attacking, but their weapon fire will only inflict damage if the enemy is left unchecked. The player only gets one continue in this version.
