Differences Between Versions
- Publisher: The cassette/disk version displays "JV SOFTWARE" in the main status bar that is displayed at the top of the screen throughout the game. In the cartridge version, "JV/ROKLAN" is displayed instead. These two differences are also shown in the opening screens of each version, and the screens themselves are also slightly different.
- Difficulty Setting: The cassette/disk version of the game allows you to change the landing difficulty from normal to hard. In the cartridge version, this is not available.
- Death Sequence: The cassette/disk version of the game displays concentric rectangles over the screen upon player death. In the cartridge version, the game displays horizontal lines over the screen instead.
- Take off/Landing: The cassette/disk version of the game displays miniaturized versions of the landscape and objects on a planet's surface as you approach the planet or are attempting to leave it. In the cartridge version, only a flat plane is displayed.
- Ending Music: The cassette/disk version of the game plays the song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" during the end portion of the game. In the cartridge version, "Anchors Aweigh" continues to play, which is the song used throughout the game.
- Ending Difficulty: The cassette/disk version of the game makes completing the game much more difficult by forcing the player to solve a final, space-bound puzzle in order to enter the final planet's atmosphere. In the cartridge version, the player can enter the atmosphere of the final planet as normal.
- Ending Animation: The cassette/disk version of the game shows an end-game animation where a small, brown man carries a flag with the message "THE END" written upon it. In the cartridge version, the game ends with the text "Game Over" being displayed in the status bar.

Famous quotes containing the words differences between, differences and/or versions:
“The differences between revolution in art and revolution in politics are enormous.... Revolution in art lies not in the will to destroy but in the revelation of what has already been destroyed. Art kills only the dead.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
