Editor note

A review from a French magazine from December 1993 stated that the game was "finally released on Mac", so the 1989 release date usually found (which is the original release date of the first version of this game) is yet to be confirmed. The Mac portage may have come only on 1993.

According to most sources, the game was released in 1989 (as (c) 1989 appeared on the title screen), but some sources agree with the 1993 release date, and I would tend to believe them.
