Ver.B is much more common than the original revision.
Scitron / Gamest released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Pilots Kids, Space Bomber - SGCD-006) on 05/03/1999.
Differences in Ver.B compared to the original:
- Intro: picture of man ("No, go to star") has been flipped horizontally
- Intro: spinning "Space Bomber" at bottom right is red instead of silver.
- "Game Over" image has different palette
- Lives counter are animated instead of a larger static image
- Story panes have been added between worlds and when the game is cleared, the original had none
- 'rankings' have been added on all clear ("CAT-2" etc.)
- Gameplay tweaks seem to consist of shrinking the size of bullets in a given encounter (e.g. third wave of bullets for boss 2-4, bullets from saucers in 1-4) presumably to make it a touch easier
