Publication
| The Artic Computing release probably never happened. There are reviews for that version, but in Personal Computer Games in February 1985 there is a STOP PRESS announcement indicating that Imperial Software was going to publish the title instead. Micro Adventurer #17 explains in a News article that all Artic adventures are receiving a price reduction, and any title that does not conform to that change is going to be released under the Imperial Software label, with "Curse of the Seven Faces" as the first title affected by this decision. |
