Collector interest

Japan only Famicom port of Nichibutsu's arcade action title, released in late 1985. Its appeal comes from its place in Nichibutsu's run of conversions, a third party with a relatively small Famicom output, and from a game that never reached the West. The value, supported by this territorial exclusivity and the 1985 vintage, draws collectors pursuing a complete Famicom catalog and early Japanese arcade adaptations.
