Trivia
The game was included as a free game on the coverdisk of issue 24 (May 1991) of Amiga Format, the UK's biggest Amiga magazine (at one point it's biggest computer magazine). The magazine also included Interphase, Vaxine and Archiplagoes at different times.
The practice of cover-mounting older games was common in the UK for several years, but in mid-1991 it was banned for 16-bit systems, and restricted to 2 ex-commercial games per issue for 8-bit systems (such as the Commodore 64 and Sinclair Spectrum)
This game came on an unprecedented *12* floppy disks!
For both BOP and BOP: 1990, Chris Crawford wrote this in the Acknowledgements
section:
"I conceived, designed, programmed, developed, and tested this game. Yet, no
such project is truly single-handed; every designer owes a debt of gratitude to
a large number of people who lent him their advice, their assistance, and their
sympathy."
He credits his wife, Kathy, for consulting him about all "big decisions" (he
mentions helping with the images and posing for the pic of an anti-nuke
protester).
