Development and Release
The game is first released in Japan under the name Abarenbou Tengu on December 14, 1990. The US version is later released a month later. As both versions only has differences between the sprites, with the Japanese version having a tengu mask belonging to Japanese folklore. The US version has major graphical and story changes, replacing the tengu mask with the decapitated samurai head . Aside from the differences, both games are practically identical, with the Japanese Version having only a few major differences:
- In Abarenbou Tengu, the player must obtain the rapid fire ability. In Zombie Nation, the player starts with it.
- The main character's sprite is not that of the flying samurai head, Namakubi, but that of a Japanese konoha tengu head. The title screen is different with the tengu's head being incorporated into it.
- The boss of Round I is an evil Statue of Liberty in both games but with a slightly different sprite; instead of being green with snakes in replace of its crown in Zombie Nation, it's red and has a normal crown.
