A pinball RPG. Yes, really. (And before we lose you, there's also three standard-type games to choose from.)

Unused Graphics

Hmmm...
To do:
Needs images.
Careful, you'll lose an eye.
This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

Chilling in the ending scene's sprite bank is an older version of the stoppers/AT symbols used in RPG mode.

The (unused and used) stopper graphics both use three colors, with the older ones saying "1 2 3" and the used ones saying "1 F P". In-game, both the text and stopper graphic are always white, rendering the lettering effectively invisible.

The Golf table sprites contain graphics saying "GOD!! FINE" (maybe "good"?), which seems to be unused.

There are unused Japanese characters/words left in some of the latter graphics banks.

Regional Differences

Aside from removing the katakana (which ended up remaining in the ROM anyway), the US version alters the copyright info, most notably removing the Jaleco logo.

The US version adds an intro for the RPG mode, showing the queen being kidnapped and the king beaten up, before dropping the player into the game.
