In addition to the popular 8 and 16-bit versions, the collection includes the never-released-on-cartridge MegaDrive/Genesis version. With 24 quick-save/load slots for each version and a feature that displays the location of the diamonds, there’s never been a better time to experience it. It also includes a feature that lets you start the game in a powered-up state. The PC Engine version is based on the NES™ version and features a main theme arranged for FM sound by Yukiharu Urita, as well as an ending theme composed by Norihiro Furukawa, both Zuntata (Taito’s sound team) alumni.
