DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

Pirates of the Nile was the first original title designed at the Taiwan office. The game, shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 1984, was in the final stages of development when Mattel Electronics closed.


FUN FACT: Music during a game on the Apple II was difficult, requiring timed bursts of writes to the speaker port, so the cool rendition of Flight of the Bumblebee in this game was considered quite an accomplishment.
