it might just be a case of there is a World set but it hasn't turned up yet.

It does seem strange that it was known as Slap Fight over here, and all the home ports were known as Slap Fight when there isn't a Taito original for outside of Japan with that title. It also seems odd that we're missing a set that could be a 'World' version.

Unless Toaplan / Taito saw the sheer number of bootlegs and just didn't bother with the European market?

OTOH it might just be a very rare set, things like Wyvern F-0 which are stupidly rare now were apparently actually seen in quite a few UK and European locations back in the day.
