Remarks:
Immediately after Splitting Images was advertised and reviewed by the magazines, Central Television (the company behind the hit TV show Spitting Image) filed a breach of copyright complaint, as the title and all artwork for the inlay and posters too closely resembled their show, even though the game is a totally different kind of beast.
The game was thus repackaged and released as Split Personalities.
Interestingly, Domark later released a "real" Spitting Image game (properly licensed of course).

Remarks:
ZXSR: Also known as Split Personalities. The name was changed as Domark did not have the licence to a very similarly named popular TV show of the time, Spitting Image. Funnily enough, Domark later acquired this licence and produced a game based on it.
Remarks:
ZXSR: The re-released version of Splitting Images as the makers of Spitting Image were a bit upset with the name being too close. Domark eventually released a game based on the TV series anyway.
