In 1985, Sega released a coin-operated arcade remake, which in turn was ported to the Master System and Famicom in 1986. Choplifter is one of the few games that first appeared on a home system and was ported to the arcades. Graphically enhanced versions for the Atari 8-bit family and Atari 7800 were also published in 1988 by Atari Corporation.
