Trivia
Development
The game is programmed entirely in Borland Delphi, not C/Assembly as most other games.
Multiplayer
The initial German release box contains a short pamphlet telling the poor buyer that the advertised multi-player mode isn't even included "because of release date concerns". They tell that they will patch it later.
