Yep, that seems to be the case, and many things support this. The Plus/4 version is based on the PAL release of the game, while Lemon64 seems to list the NTSC one. Differences:
- Each version has a different cheat code.
- The title screen music is different (the one you can play on the Lemon64 site is the NTSC one, it differs from the Plus/4 version)
- The credits colors are swapped, I mentioned this above (NTSC: "programming" is green, "graphics" is blue, on PAL and in the Plus/4 version it's the other way around).
While digging through the code, I found another issue: the game uses the SID to generate random numbers (a fresh set each time). This however is obviously broken in the Plus/4 version, the memory location that the game reads (which is a SID register on the C64) never changes, therefore the entire "random number table" will be all zeroes.
Have you ever noticed that when you shoot containers open, they are always empty?! This is exactly why  (Will be fixed of course.)
