History

Release

A Sega Mega-CD version was advertised around the same time as the original PC and Macintosh versions of the game, and was set for release in December 1994^[6], later January 1995^[7], but did not materialise. A North American Saturn release also was planned, prior to publishers THQ dropping out of the Saturn market in the summer of 1997^[8].
