Trivia
1001 Video Games
Klax appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Arcade version
Strictly speaking, this isn't a coin-op conversion per se, as the home and arcade versions were developed alongside each other. The top home versions (PC, Amiga and ST) are identical to the arcade game.
Atari 2600 version
According to AtariProtos.com, this was the last game released for the Atari 2600 by Atari. Although it was ported to the NTSC format, it was never released in that format.
