The graphics were pretty impressive for a 1984 title, and in fact the background picture was created by manually typing in hex values for each pixel on the screen. The game was created by Jim Sachs, who'd later go on to do the graphics in Amiga classic Defender of the Crown. 2/3

Sachs was also (solely) responsible for the well known SereneScreen Marine Aquarium screensaver from around the year 2000 ish. You can read up on his story in this article. 3/3
