- Notes
- Rare's account of the game and its production. It names Nintendo's agreements with Silicon Graphics and Alias Research, defines ACM (Advanced Computer Modelling) as "a method of creating and animating every pixel of every graphic in a total computer environment", and says the main problem was "compressing these visuals into 16-bit". It also dates the release to 18 November 1994, says it was the first Nintendo product launched in the UK ahead of other countries, and gives the "22 years" man-hours figure.
