PAL version

The game has a different title in each version. In the NTSC-J version, the game is called Captain Lang. In the NTSC-U version, the game is called High Seas Havoc. In the PAL version, the game is called Capt'n Havoc (even though the box art simply titles the game "Havoc"[1]). The copyright information is also different across versions, with "LICENSED BY SEGA ENTERPRISES LTD." being added on the NTSC-U title screen, and the copyright info being replaced with "© CODEMASTERS SOFTWARE CO. LTD. 1994" in the PAL version.

PAL version

The change in publishers for the PAL version is also reflected in the backgrounds on the options screen and level title cards. Also, the PAL version skips Cape Sealph completely and starts the player on the Pirate Ship. Cape Sealph is still in the game's data, and can be accessed by cheating.
