History
The game was originally conceived by designer Klaus Lyngeled, formerly of Shiny Entertainment. He quit his job at Shiny to found his own company, Zoink Games, in order to be able work full-time on this project.
Zoink teamed up with Swedish developer Unique Development Studios and began to develop a version of the game for the Microsoft Xbox. In 2003, CDV obtained the publishing rights, but had to drop the project soon after due to financial difficulties.
In 2006, independent production house Games Foundation obtained a license to develop the game for the Wii and signed developer SnapDragon Games for the task. Pixonauts KG ultimately obtained the publishing rights and released the game in August 2010 in Germany. Releases in France (through Tradewest) and the US (through Atari) followed.
The PAL version is multi-language and contains English, German, French and Spanish voices-overs.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
