The game was announced in November 1993 by StarCore along with six other titles for Macintosh.[4] It was released in 1994 for Classic Mac OS and Windows.[5]

Reception

[edit]

Los Angeles Times said " That didn’t surprise the folks at Sanctuary Woods, who say the program is especially attractive to girls who tend to shy away from the shoot-’em-up type games. Even my wife, Patti, is impressed--a rare event when it comes to computer games--by the music and scenery."[8]

Newsday said "It's a fascinating and challenging game that familiarizes kids with maps and strategic planning"[9]

The game was given a silver medal at the AVC's Interactive CINDY Awards.[10]
