The New Zealand Story had several Arcade versions and we have included five of them. Old, New and Prototype Versions has completely different level layouts and depending on the region, there are small changes in the location and behaviour of some enemies. Prototype version is known as The NewZealand Story 2 or The NewZealand Story Extra as well.

Regarding NES Version, in USA the game is called Kiwi Kraze. We've included both PAL and NTSC versions. As the game was developed in UK with PAL Euro standards in mind, the pace of the music in Euro version is as it was intended to be. Because of that USA NES Version may feel accelerated for Euro players.

In the case of Master System, we've included Euro Version, as it was developed in UK and like NES, the game was made with PAL Systems in mind.
