It was the last officially licensed Game Gear title to be released in any region with the exception of Super Battletank (which saw a long-delayed release by Majesco Sales in 2001).

The character's health is indicated by the color of his vest. He starts each stage with a green vest, which has five hit points. A blue vest has four, red has three, yellow has two, and white has one. Each time the player character is hit by an enemy or an environmental hazard, he loses a hit point and the color of his vest changes. If he takes damage with a white vest, he dies and the game ends.
