Mistakes

Amstrad CPC:

Three locations have (for an unknown reason) the background image taken from three other locations:
Mt. Fuji - image taken from "Kenya" location (Mt. Kilimanjaro).
"Australia" - image taken from Mt. Keirin location.
"Paris" - image taken from "Barcelona" location (church Sagrada Família).

Commodore 64:

"Mt. Keirin" is misspelled as "Mt. Kieren" and "Leningrad" is misspelled as "Lenningrad".

ZX Spectrum:

Australia is misspelled as "Autralia".

1001 Video Games

Pang appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.

Cancelled NES version

A NES version was advertised but never materialized.

Inspiration

The game's basic idea of shooting balloons to split them into smaller ones came from a 1983 title (also by Hudson Soft) called Bubble Buster. As far as I know, the game only appeared on the Sinclair Spectrum system, marketed by Sinclair themselves.
