- TRIVIA -
Many Japanese gamers expected this game was in the line of Toaplan's "Flying Shark". But the game played very differently from Toaplan's usual style. So, the game was a flop.
Fighting hawk's BGM were re-used in "Master of Weapon".
The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to 'H !'.
