** It's been discovered while digging through the coding that they might have planned 60 games for the cartridge early on.
* [[Working Title]]: On a prototype of the game, ''Cheetahmen'' was called ''Action Gamer''.
* SuckerFreeGames, a small group of 3 people, bought the intellectual rights for ''Cheetahmen'' in 2010 [https://web.archive.org/web/20150919020615/http://suckerfreegames.com/forums/index.php/topic,8.0.html
