Trivia
John Romero and Lane Roathe wrote this game shortly after accepting their job offers to work at Softdisk. They told the company that they were so good that they could bang out a game in Apple II and //gs formats in two weeks and have it ready by the time they started work at Softdisk (March 1989). Needless to say, they stayed up day and night and finished the game in time.
Several months later, John Romero ported his Apple II version to DOS in EGA mode.
