Notes

[1] The graphics have been converted from the VGA PC version using a tool called DK developed by Brad Taylor. [Source: Mastodon post]

[2] When played on a machine with at least a 68020 CPU there are extra animations (like clouds in the intro) in the game.
There is a way to make it work on 68000, and both conditions must be satisfied:
- a fast 68000
- real fast ram (so the internal bogus ram does not suffice, because the fetch is too slow to pass the check)

[3] Distributed in France by Ubi Soft.


Trivia: The humour in the game is influenced by Blazing Saddles by Mel Brookes and Monty Phyton and the Holy Grail by Monty Phyton. [Source: Ron Gilbert interview]
