Notes

[1] Game supports joystick-keyboard/joypad control (incl. 2-button joysticks) and the saving of game options/preferences for future gameplay.

[2] German budget re-release published on Spiele-Disc #5 (see HERE).


TRIVIA: The four Japanese katakana characters ???? on the titlescreen spell out 'ABIDJA'. The Roman numeral 'II' on the titlescreen below them and the game name also gives the impression that it is a sequel to another game (perhaps a Japanese one never before seen on the Amiga), but it is not and was simply a gimmicky ploy to create a buzz around the game. [Source: Chris Hülsbeck interview, July 2000]
