Since this game uses a hacked Star Castle sound board, at least the ones that
made it to the arcades, must have been after Star Castle. (Mine uses a Star
Castle Rev. B sound board).

I also know that this game was worked on for a long time, by quite a few
programmers so no telling when it was conceived. Paul seems to have more
information on this game than I do.

(BTW If it means anything, I'll be gone all next week exploring the back canyon
lands of Death Valley. So if I don't reply to some e-mail, for a week, it's not
because I'm being rude. If I don't reply for two weeks, it IS because I'm being
rude.)
