Kuri Kinton was released in July 1988 in Japan.

The title of this game translates from Japanese as 'Honor League Gold Association'. Note that there is a Japanese dish called 'kuri-kinton' which is mashed sweet potatoes and chestnuts.

Zuntata Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Zuntata History L'ab-normal 1st - ZTTL-0038) on April 1, 1999.

The prototype version has :
* Difficulty very unoptimized.
* Dipswitches for invincibility and slow motion.
* No end credits.
* No water in level 2/3, only brown garbage instead.
* Some other minor things (graphic glitches vs. bosses, bad-oriented continue screen, etc.).
* The green carpet in level 2 isn't animated.
