Amstrad CPC:
Three locations have (for an unknown reason) the background image taken from three other locations:

"Australia" - image taken from Mt. Keirin location.
"Paris" - image taken from "Barcelona" location (church Sagrada Família).
Commodore 64:
"Mt. Keirin" is misspelled as "Mt. Kieren" and "Leningrad" is misspelled as "Lenningrad".

1001 Video Games
Pang appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Cancelled NES version
A NES version was advertised but never materialized.
Inspiration
The game's basic idea of shooting balloons to split them into smaller ones came from a 1983 title (also by Hudson Soft) called Bubble Buster. As far as I know, the game only appeared on the Sinclair Spectrum system, marketed by Sinclair themselves.
