Both are Korean games I believe (look at the credits on the PC version, the names appear to be Korean)

There is probably some legitimate connection between them. The PC version I believe came first, but SemiCom weren't bootleggers, so I imagine there was an agreement between SemiCom and the producers of the original game (or they're just the same company trading under different names)

Isn't this hyper rare game the MAME team recently preserved based on an IBM Shareware computer game?

@Jac2Mac Yeah, it appears to be based on Baryon, a Raiden clone of (I think) german origin. Seems to use a lot of the same graphics, but I don't know if it's licensed or not.
