[3] A full bug-fixed version of the game was re-released in 2001 by Crystal Interactive on dual-format CD. It was more widely distributed than the original release, at least in the UK where it was available at PC World, Dixons, EB, and Game. Additionally, it doubled as a music album by Tim Koch and apparently was sold by independent music/online stores in Australia and Europe.

[4] The game CD contains 11 CDDA soundtracks for your listening pleasure which, along with the in-game music, are available in MP3 format from the musician's website HERE [Source: Tim Koch].

[5] A playable demo of ULTRA VIOLENT WORLDS was released on CU Amiga Super CD-ROM 26 (Sept 98). It is available for download HERE [Source: Amiga Future].
