The game was originally written for the Apple IIGS and subsequently ported to the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS compatible operating systems.

The game was developed by Will Harvey, Ian Gooding, Jim Nitchals, and Douglas Fulton.

Due to the lack of a mouse or similar pointing device, the Sega Genesis edition of the game omitted the "Magic Carpet" hole.

Instead, the "Mystery" bonus hole from the computer versions is renamed "Knockout Nightmare" and placed after "Ant Hill".

Before the Hamburger hole, the game gives a prompt which requires the player to rotate the wheel into a certain position.

The game was reviewed in 1989 in Dragon #144 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column.
