This arcade game was one of the first to use a 3-screen display. The actual resolution of the game is 3x(288x224) or 864x224 giving a very long horizontal display, hence some of the conversions opting to display the game in the widescreen format.

The main sprite in the arcade version was 91 pixels tall, nearly half the screen height!

Banglar, the main enemy who looks like Yoda from the Star Wars films makes a cameo appearance in "Aqua Jack" 2 years after appearing in The Ninja Warriors.

Brian Chapel holds the official record for this game with 188,900 points.
