Namco released at least two versions of the Arcade. The one labeled with "new version" is easier, has autofire and different level layouts. The level design of the ports are based on the old version.
The game was also ported to JAKKS Pacific and NEC PC-6001mkII. Unfortunately, we couldn’t access those games and they have not been included in the video.
Bosconian was ported to the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum by Binary Design. This port has several differences from the original game but retains the core mechanics so we thought that it could a good idea to add them as a bonus at the end of the video.
