'New Zealand Story', didn't notice this until now.

No biggie, just a Kiwi smoking a cigarette.

If you think that's bad, you probably don't know how to access the cheat mode in the game.

I guess because it's not on screen for long they managed to sneak it through without any complaints.
 
What is more interesting is there are four different versions of The New Zealand Story in the arcades, with the computer conversions based on different ones. There are two versions that are just different by having a training level added, but others are more radically different.

The Amiga and C-64 versions are based on the tnzsjo.zip romset at least. To me that is the canonical one, I also own the PCB. :-)

What other computer <-> romset matches are there?

I didn't know that they were based on the arcade files. I thought it was coded from scratch. Thanks for telling.

This game came bundled in my A500 Batpack in Christmas '89 along with DPaint II and something else I forget the name of.

I played it thousands of times over the years.  It was both fun and infuriating in equal measure. The music and sound effects are permanently burned into my memory.

It's quite addictive but also hard, I can honestly say I never completed the entire game :/ Have you (or anyone here)?

No, it was very difficult so eventually I just gave up as I got addicted to 68k assembly via the tutorial series in Amiga Format that got published in 1990.

Thanks for the link! I'll read them when I get an opportunity. Good think I bought the book Amiga Machine Language they refer to in Tutorial 2:)
