The Direct Menu, which lists all titles available for play, uniquely has the CATS ambassador as the graphic for the European MD version, while the other versions of the game are represnted by sprites of the ZIG fighter instead.

** Mangled as it may be, the English translation preserves most of the key details of the storyline, with one exception: "All your base are belong to us" was originally "Thanks to the Federation's cooperation, we have taken all of your bases," which gives the important context that CATS used to work for the Federation before betraying them. The 2023 Steam version reinserts this line, so CATS now says "Thank you for your cooperation." after delivering the famous line.
