Copy Protection

The CD DOS release has a spiral bound manual. Along the bottom of each the first twenty-four pages are five groups of ten characters, when a game of Chess, Backgammon or Draughts starts the player is prompted for character x on page y. The player gets two chances to get this right before the game freezes and plays a continuous, annoying, note.

Classical Music

Only the Atari and Amiga versions have optional background classical music, the PC version only uses speaker beeps.

The four tunes are: Chopin: Prelude No.28, Debussy: Claire de Lune, Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata and Gonoud: Ave Maria.
