In 1998, the game was released with Image Fight as a one-disc doublebill on PlayStation and Sega Saturn.
In 2019, the game was released on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch as part of Hamster Corporation's Arcade Archives series.
The game itself is a side-scroller like R-Type, albeit with a short vertical-scrolling area towards the end of the sixth level.
