Notes:

Later production games reportedly used the "Whitestar (modified)" MPU (running in a BSMT-2000 audio emulation mode) due to supply shortages for the BSMT-2000 sound chip.

This game features custom speech by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The backbox uses regular incandescent light bulbs instead of a fluorescent bulb like the other recent Stern games have used.
