Пан: Әлемді шарлап, ауа шарларын жою

The basic gameplay is identical to a 1983 Japanese MSX computer game called Cannon Ball (also released in 1983 on the ZX Spectrum as Bubble Buster). Cannon Ball was made by Japanese publishers Hudson Soft, and it was licensed by Mitchell Corporation six years later to make Pang. In the game, players must finish a round the world quest to destroy bouncing balloons that are terrorising several of Earth's landmarks and cities. The fight to save the Earth begins on Mount Fuji, Japan, where the players must pass all three stages before moving on to the next location. Conversions, all titled Pang, were released across Europe by Ocean Software in 1990 for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Amiga, and Atari ST.

The arcade version was released by Mitchell Corporation in Japan and Europe. In Japan, it was called Pomping World, and in Europe it was called Pang. When the arcade version was released in North America and Canada by Capcom USA, the name was changed to Buster Bros.

A TurboGrafx CD version was released by Hudson Soft as Pomping World in Japan and as Buster Bros. in North America and Canada. A Game Boy version was also released by Hudson Soft, titled Pang or Buster Bros The game was ported to the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Amiga and Atari ST by Ocean Software, all titled Pang and only released in Europe. The Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC+/GX4000 conversions were available on cartridge only.

The arcade game was a hit in Japan, and had a successful launch in North America. The arcade game received a positive review from Commodore User magazine, scoring it 8 out of 10. The ZX Spectrum version, titled Pang, was awarded a 94% in the February 1991 issue of Your Sinclair and was placed at number 74 in the "Your Sinclair official top 100". Amiga Power were even more enthusiastic, listing it as the 11th best game ever in their initial Top 100 list, published with Amiga Format in April 1991 as a preview of the magazine.
