Notes

RemarksThe cassette tape on which the game was supplied also contained an audio track also titled "Confuzion", which was composed by the Band Private Property (Matthew Smith Lyrics, Joanne Holt/Steve Salt Music) and performed by Joanne Holt, Matthew Smith, Steve Salt, Chris Weller and Gary Seaward. Rob Hubbard translated the original track into the games soundtrack (at least for the Commodore 64 version).
