Publication history

The game was released as Hi-Res Adventures #0, despite being released after Mystery House and Wizard and the Princess. It was meant as an introduction to the adventure game genre so it was made easier than the rest of Hi-Res Adventures games.[4]

It was later ported to the Atari 8-bit family[3] and Commodore 64.
