Notes

• The game's internal header refers to 1992, but it is not certain that this is the year this build was made.
• The cartridge label calls the game by it's name in Japan, Captain Lang. The in-game title, however, refers to it by it's US release title. The artwork used is an earlier iteration of the game's logo with more details that were later scrapped for the final logo.
