Business model
With the v02 version in December 2000, the game's distribution model was changed from mailware to freeware. Also, the source code was included, along with some small fixes. The source is for QBASIC and it compiles with QuickBasic 4.5.
Development
The author reports the game was written for Peter Cooper's 1996 competition (among readers of the comp.lang.basic.misc Usenet group) to code a clone of any retro arcade classic in any version of BASIC. This game took first prize, albeit out of only four contestants.
