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][7], later January 1995[8], 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[9].
While in-game, Perfect 10 Productions and Teeny Weeny Games are credited separately, by the time of the Saturn game's release, the two companies had merged to form Perfect Entertainment, who is credited on the box.
