Various home computer ports of the game were renamed to Dyna Blaster, and all of them base their menu options and copyright text style on the PC Engine version's title screen, with the COM Cable Battle option removed for obvious reasons.

The IBM PC version's title screen has no clouds and adds a setup option to the menu that allows the user to configure controls for players 1 and 2 as well as use a VGA test which scrolls the screen back and forth so they can configure their display monitor.

The IBM PC and X68000 versions only support 4 players. A fifth player is still shown on the HUD during gameplay in the IBM PC version, however.

Localisation comparisons

PC Engine

TurboGrafx-16

A ™ symbol was added to the title (shifting the "MAN" part to the left slightly to accommodate it), various menu options were renamed to become more clear with the supported number of players, and the copyright information was updated to mention NEC Technologies as a publisher.

PC Engine

TurboGrafx-16

The TurboGrafx-16 appropriately localises the Senyou Multi Tap displayed when setting up Battle mode into the TurboTap.

PC Engine

TurboGrafx-16

The error screen displayed if the player tries to start Battle mode without a Multi Tap connected also has the PC Engine redrawn into a TurboGrafx-16.
