Trivia
One of the merchants may try to sell you an item called "idspispopd". If you're unfamiliar with the reference, look up a cheat list for Doom.
The original game had an onslaught of bugs that almost prevented playing. Microprose released a patch and later a completely new version of the game (which had different manual and disk). The original disk and manual can be considered a collector's item.
This game is a member of Computer Gaming World magazine's Hall of Fame.
Developed by the same team which developed Master of Orion I and II.
