DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
This was a game where Steve Ettinger and Dave Warhol were able to go crazy -- no idea was too wild. They were helped in that the deadline was extremely tight, necessitating many all-night design and programming marathons. They later admitted that many of the wackier names and moves were the result of sleep deprivation.
FUN FACT: INTV President Terry Valeski insisted on lots of hype and excitement in the catalog descriptions; copywriter Keith Robinson (TRON Solar Sailer) worked to deliver it. Ray Kaestner made fun of this at one point, telling Keith there was a typo in the Diner description: "There's a sentence here that doesn't end with an exclamation point." Keith was able to make fun of it himself with his catalog description for Body Slam -- it contains 58 exclamation points.
