TRIVIA

Development started in 94, the game was intended to be released on May 15, 1995, however it ended up being released in November 1995.

The game was rated K-A (Kids to Adults, generally suitable for all ages) by ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board).

In December 2012, Chris Shrigley, who programmed the game, released the source code for educational purposes to the public and said: "My final game on the Sega Genesis, and the one I’m probably most proud of. The game was hard to write and took me almost a year to complete. There's a lot of really cool coding in this game (at least by 1995 standards)."
