    TRIVIA
    Bosconian was released by Midway Manufacturing, under license by Namco, in February 1982 in the USA, even if the copyright year is 1981.

    When Bosconian first arrived in North America (it was already about three months old in Japan by this point), Midway gave out strategy booklets to the game from a display attached to the machine.
