This game was originally planned for release in North America as Ufouria: The Saga, but was delayed until it was cancelled sometime around 1993. It was, however, released in PAL nations (Most of Europe and Australia). The English language version replaces the graphics of two of the playable characters (including main character Hebereke, once a mischievous white penguin to this snow-man named "Bop Louie") as well as birds dropping poop with birds dropping 10-Ton Weights. Also, the story in the English language version lacked the humor, character personality, and story of the Japanese version.

"Hebereke" and "Ufouria the saga" are exactly the same games, but there are only some graphic changes and regional programming differences.

But while "Hebereke" is harder to get and harder to make a reproduction cart using a rare FME-7 mapper, "Ufouria The Saga" is very easy to make a reproduction cart using an MMC3 mapper. (The MMC3 is very easy to find on eBay's 5$ cartridge.)

One problem is that the game runs at PAL speed, so it works fine in the NTSC system, but there is a problem with DPCM going down one semitone, so ntsc players can't listen to the music properly.

This hack raises the pitch of the DPCM samples by one note so that you can hear the correct sound. (The pop noise becomes much more serious because the DPCM was changed manually in the HEX editor.)

Sorry about poor english
