ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
It is unknown why this program was never released, though it may have to do with the turmoil inside Alligata Software before the publisher had to shut down. The title appears to be complete and fully playable.
We are very grateful to Harlequin Software founder Stephen J. Goss for allowing us to archive this game. Once considered lost, the file was eventually located and dumped by John Hardie of the National Videogame Museum in February 2026.
