Trivia

As you can see from the game credits, Spider Robinson is responsible for a lot of the singing and guitar playing in this game. This is the same Spider Robinson who is the original author of the Callahan series of books on which this game is based. Jake Stonebender, the character you control, is also Spider's alter-ego and bears more than a passing resemblance to the author.
