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:
“No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.”
—Richard M. Nixon (b. 1913)
“Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won’t do. It’s an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
