Notes

[1] The game was released in December 1992 for Christmas in France. The PC version was released in January 1993, and the foreign language versions such as English, German and Italian were released in April 1993.

[2] The SPS 1885 version in English has seen all its protections removed.

[3] The two original authors (Fabrice Visserot and Jean Baudlot) of the music and SFX from the Megadrive version, (which was the lead platform), had their work converted on the Amiga by Raphael Gesqua at the request of Paul Cuisset.

[4] Distributed in Italy by Leader.
