It, and Rescue on Fractalus were developed by (I beleive) LucusGames and eventualy marketed by Epex. I don't know how much of the marketing rights Epex owns. Hopefully, not too much or we may never see these games on the Amiga. T'would be a shame too. Rescue on Fractalus expecially would benefit from the greater horsepower and better graphics of the Amiga.
