A lot of people did play this, though. It’s a pretty major arcade game—I remember it being everywhere.
To me, the oddness isn’t just that the only home ports were for computer systems but that it was published by Konami.
It’s not unreasonable that a few arcade games would be computer-only, but it’s wild that the releases were computer-only on Western computer systems. Specifically for the North American market, not European.
The ports were not farmed off to a Western developer but developed and published by Konami—which was atypical for them. The DOS and C64 ports of Castlevania, for example, were not made by Konami.
Keep in mind the arcade game was released in Japan, so there could have been a port for PC-98 or Sharp X68000.
