The same advertisement offered a gamebook of the same title at 680 yen, already on sale.	`back cover (image 182), Square advertisementback cover (image 182)back cover (image 182)back cover (image 182)`	Magazine
Beep's October 1986 issue gave the Famicom game 3 stars overall, with 4 for characters, speed and graphics, 2 for sound and 3 for game design. Its reviewer, たけじゅん (Takejun), had expected an RPG from "the first formation role-playing game" and found an action game; it was "a big mistake" to take it as an RPG, and better played as a Twinbee-type shooting game for the thrill of shooting everything.	`p. 54 (image 56), 最新ファミコンゲームお買い得情報p. 54 (image 56), rating boxp. 54 (image 56), review textp. 54 (image 56), review textp. 54 (image 56), review text`	Magazine
Beep's October 1986 issue rated the Famicom version 4 of 5 overall, with 3 for characters, 4 for speed, 3 for graphics, 4 for sound and 4 for game design. Its reviewer welcomed the room layouts kept nearly as in the arcade game, which made the Famicom good practice for it, regretted that easy rooms turn up suddenly in the later rounds, and, citing the multiple endings and the GDV, said Tecmo looked promising.	`p. 54 (scan image 56), お買い得情報, ratingsp. 54 (scan image 56), お買い得情報p. 54 (scan image 56), お買い得情報p. 54 (scan image 56), お買い得情報p. 55 (scan image 57), margin note`	Magazine
