Richard Spitalny on an interview for The ZX Spectrum Book: "It was created by a licensee in Sweden: American Action AB. It was an official release, since we were paid for it and approved it, but it was not designed by Peter Liepa nor First Star Software. As I recall, they came to us with a finished 'clone' and we worked something out to make it official. Proper credits and legal notices were included, and we received an advance against royalties and a continued revenue share, such that the title could come out in the mutually agreed to territories. However, First Star itself never published the game." |
