Interesting puzzle indeed. Those 'Sanyo' shots on your blog are almost
*definitely* derive from the Coco version; usually when games are ported
the graphics are altered in one way or another, and these are obviously
pixel-for-pixel copies of the Coco graphics (aside from the extra colour
information).

But then again, bizarrely, the archived blog does show a photo of the
Sanyo with the same screenshots!?! Almost as if there was a port to the
Sanyo based on the same graphics (but with more colour depth), then they
decided to change them?

Curiouser and curiouser...
