Licensed to Taito for manufacture and distribution.

This game is known in US as "Alcon".

Due to no obvious cause, a white "Space Invader" sometimes flies across the screen when you are approximately 60% through the game.

Updates

The English bootleg just says 'England' instead of the copyright message before the title screen.
