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.

“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”

“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
