Origins

According to author Paul Lay this game was only released in part of the Tri-Star Warriors compilation. From three different contract offers Microdeal was the choice because of their reputation.

At the time Microdeal policy was to publish games within three year timeframe and sadly this game never made it to the retail-release stage.
Suddenly one day Paul got a complimentary copy of something called "Tri-Star Warriors" and found out his game was part of the compilation!

The artwork is an excerpt from a cover of Tristar Warriors compilation. Enjoy the full game in courtesy of author Paul Lay, many thanks!
