Credits

  • Bob Koon - Graphics, Programming.
  • Ryan Ross - Music, SFX.
  • Stephane Hockenhull - Audio programming.

Some technical points of interest: The audio driver used was Paragon 5's Beyond Tracker. GDMA was used for the in-game scrolling. The title screen uses all 40 sprites (8x16) for the logo at the top of the screen and (potentially) all 40 sprites (8x8) for the menu items below (the background is scrolling underneath everything).
