Remarks
| The cover of the game sensually portraying princess Gremla's quasi breast nudity was later censored in the UK. To amend this controversy several graphic alterations were made. A logo of the company Dinamic, screenshots of the game and a bra composed by two metallic plates were added to cover the visual suggestion and subtle nudity of princess Gremla's nipples. The last alteration was made by Crash magazine editor Oliver Frey |
