- TRIVIA -

This game was cancelled before it was released. Only one Japanese prototype board is known to have been manufactured.

The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to 'H !'. In Japanese 'H' is often used as a shortening of the word 'hentai', meaning pervert.
