SHOW NOTES

• Steve misspakes in the beginning, and says the developer of this game is LucasArts. They are actually the publisher! The developer is Totally Games, which was spearheaded by Lawrence Holland. They mostly did combat simulation games in the 1980s and 1990s, before branching out to VR and interactive games in the 2000s. The company is defunct as of 2015, though.
