Apparently the story was also done by "The Outer Limits" in a story
entitled "Fun and Games" starring Nick Adams and directed by Gerd
Oswald.  The costume of the "monster" Gorn was done by Wah Chang
(he who came up with the Horta) in both shows.  (This from the Star
Trek Compendium.)

Is there anyone who remembers the "Outer Limits" episode and can
describe the differences?
