This game was created in BASIC by a twelve year old Jeremy Penner, who would later find greater fame with glorioustrainwrecks.com.
Initially written as a Zak McKracken fan sequel, many elements were changed after Penner discovered copyright. Originally released for DOS as shareware in 1994, it was later ported to Windows and made freely available as part of the 2012 IGF Pirate Kart.
