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 mother must teach her son how to respect and follow the rules. She must teach him how to compete successfully with the other boys. And she must teach him how to find a woman to take care of him and finish the job she began of training him how to live in a family. But no matter how good a job a woman does in teaching a boy how to be a man, he knows that she is not the real thing, and so he tends to exaggerate the differences between men and women that she embodies.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“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)
