Trivia
Although Michel Rho was responsible for Kult's graphics, the initial artistic direction was handled by renowned French illustrator Philippe Caza (Heavy Metal, Gandahar, Skan...). Most Exxos/Cryo games, up to Purple Saturn Day, bear the influence of Caza's style.

Chamber is one of my favourite games, but the glitched graphics (see earlier trivia item) have been bugging me ever since I first saw them. I'm very pleased to announce that I've finally got around to fixing the graphics and you can now download the patch. The game finally looks as it was intended to look :)
Various trivia about the game:
- The European DOS version is in CGA, with minimal sound from the PC speaker (no music, and just a few beeps for sound effects). The U.S. release added EGA support, AdLib music and sound effects.
- There is quite a big error in the EGA implementation; I'm probably not explaining it properly, but it appears that one of the colours used is accidentally 'transparent' which basically results in white and cyan pixels being scattered across the game's backgrounds. If you hadn't played the game on the Atari ST or Amiga, you might think the game was meant to look like this, but it isn't. I guess it doesn't spoil the graphics *too* much (They still look very good), but it is an annoying mistake.
- This is the last game on ERE Informatique's European Exxos label. The first was Captain Blood (1988), followed by Purple Saturn Day (1989).
- The European version has two extra title screens that are not included in the US release.
- The US version was published by Data East, on its short-lived Draconian label. It was the first game released on the label, closely followed by Infogrames' Drakkhen. The aim of the Draconian label was to appeal to RPG fans, both of computer-based and table-top RPGs. The offers included in the original Chamber box are evidence of this aim.
- As well as the disks and manual, the original box also included:
- A Data East 1990 catalog
- Warranty/Contest card
- Disk-exchange coupon
- "Join the RPGA Network" special offer
- "An Unreal $125 offer exclusive to Draconian players" - money-off coupons for table-top RPGs and miniatures
- The blurb on the back of the US box may be well-written, but nearly every point of it is incorrect in some way.
