| Remarks | ZXSR: Featured on Four Smash Hits from Hewson Consultants for£9.95 (14.95 on +3 Disk). Other games were Exolon, Rana Rama and Uridium Plus. |
| Remarks | John Cumming is credited as game designer together with Dominic Robinson, but since Hewson himself commissioned Zynaps to Dominic, he probably worked on the game design alone, then later John Cumming ported the game to the Commodore 64, adding his own concepts. |
