Note
The SRAM save function of the Game Master 2 cartridge does not work with this game.
The ROM for the Japanese and European editions are identical. The games story line will be in Japanese on a Japanese MSX and in English otherwise.
The English arcade title is Life Force. Confusingly the Japanese arcade Salamander was later remade as Life Force with significant differences.
