About The Game
Pang is an arcade video game where players control safari suit-wearing characters armed with harpoon guns and must destroy bouncing balls. When hit, the balls break down into smaller fragments, in a similar fashion to Atari's 1979 classic, "Asteroids". The players can only fire virtually upwards, but can move right and left, as well as climbing the ladders that appear on many of the levels. Each screen features a backdrop of a famous world landmark. All bubbles must be destroyed before players can advance to the next screen.
Trivia
This game is known in Japan as "Pomping World" and in US as "Buster Bros".
The bootleg version was released in 1990.
Pang was an updated version of a game Hudson Soft originally released in 1983 in Japan and UK for the Sinclair ZX-Spectrum. The game was called 'Canon Ball' in Japan and Sinclair Research limited released 'Canon Ball' in the UK as 'Bubble Buster', under license from Hudson Soft.
