Gameplay
The Arcade version has 9 stages, while the Genesis version only has 6 stages.
Receptions
Mean Machines gave the Mega Drive/Genesis version a 79%, commenting that it was only visually better than the Master System version and that it "lacks lasting appeal."[2] Levi Buchanan of IGN rated the Genesis game a 5.0 (Meh) for a dismal value, 30 minutes of play value.[3]
