- "Due to Play Publishing's nature of mostly publishing small games with limited budgets, often bundled with small magazines, the game was never released outside of Europe with the only confirmed English release being in Hungary, nor was the game ever re-released due to Tate Multimedia's distain for the title, wishing to forget about it."
