FRISKY TOM

• 2 versions exist.  There are several differences between the 2 versions:

In the U.S. version, the bottom tank starts with 4,000 points and will gradually slip to 0 if no water gets to it.  You’ll lose a lift at this pint; in the original version, water must be filled to maximum to not lose a life (a tank).  A song will be played and the water in the tank will flash when the bottom tank is filled completely.

In the U.S. version, the bomb fuse can be put out by either dropping on it from the left or all the way to the end of the screen on the right (reappear on the left side).  In the original version you can only put out the fuse on the left side.  You fall just short if you move off to the right side of the screen.

MOLAR Mouse is worth 200 points in the U.S. version.

MOLAR mouse can be knocked down in any position on the pipes in the U.S. version; in the original version. MOLAR mouse can only be knocked off when he is transiting up and down on a pipe.

In the U.S. version, MEAN Mouse is red; in the original version, MEAN mouse is blue.

In the U.S. version, MEAN Mouse will kill Tom if it touches or falls on him; MEAN mouse doesn't fall in the original version.

The U.S. version doesn’t have the KLEPTO Mouse.

The U.S. version has classes of difficulty 'A', 'B' & 'C'.  The original version doesn’t have any classes.

In the original version, a naked woman in a bathtub appears every 3 levels; In the U.S. version, a bikini-wearing woman in a bathtub appears between levels every time the bottom tank has at least 1,900 points.

Reserve Frisky Toms are shown as water tanks in the original version; In the U.S. version, they are shown as ‘lives’.

The manual for the U.S. version was actually for the original version.  Reserve lives are shown as water tanks in the original version; in the U.S. version, they are shown as lives.

• BUG: The manual states when the bomb goes off, the game ends, but this isn’t true (in either version).  You simply lose a life.
