Notes

Similar to Jaleco's overseas version of City Connection, this version of Exerion is spruced up from the Famicom version. It has larger PRG & CHR ROMs and the extra space was used for better graphics and music.
An NTSC US version of Exerion was submitted to Nintendo lotcheck on March 17, 1989. It has the same CHR ROM as this PAL version, so the PAL version is likely from roughly the same time.
For years the only available ROM for this game was a NintendoAge release with a defaced title screen and the Nintendo licensing text removed. Possibly due to confusion originating from the NintendoAge release, the game is currently DAT'd in the No-Intro romset as "Exerion II (USA) (Proto)" despite being a PAL localization prototype of Exerion, not a sequel.
