Jim Turner started writing this game and Owen Rubin finished it after Jim left Sente.
The original name for this game was 'D'Arc Angel' but Marketing rejected it.
There were only 10 units built at Dann Services (a rehab center).
It was the first game to successfully charge a $1.00. It was one of the first games to actually move and a pre-cursor to the simulators that followed.
