Trivia

The game credits indicate that the name of the composer is Alan Kennedy, but the MIDI files extracted from the game are actually credited to Sierra composer Ken Allen (King's Quest 5, Space Quest 4, etc). It sounds highly probable that "Alan Kennedy" was his pseudonym at Legend Entertainment. Besides Ken Allen, some other Sierra collaborators were often involved in Legend games, like Chip Kerchner, Lory-Ann Cole and of course Josh Mandel.
