Namco's own magazine NG, in its December 1986 issue, gave the Famicom cartridge as a new release for mid-December, at 3,900 yen. The day hasn't been found.image 11, Metro-Cross item page, under the cartridge photoMagazine
On the Famicom, the runner has to reach the goal before the TIME counter runs out, or the game is over. A stage is four rounds: clearing the first three adds the time left from them to the fourth round's limit. Below 10 the timer throws sparks on the screen.image 10, Metro-Cross featureManual
The Famicom manual's helpers are aluminum cans, worth a bonus when kicked, that stop the timer when stamped on; special drinks that speed the runner up and can be saved until the end of the special round; skateboards, on which slip zones don't slow him; super boots, which make him invincible for a while; a special drink pack worth two drinks; and springboards that send him far when he takes off from them on time.image 11, Metro-Cross item list, ジャンプ台 (springboard)Manual
