Added DiffLines:

moving to YMMV


* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: For one, Congo is referred to as Zaire. Airports with hippies outside of them, and microwaves ''on airplanes''. The term "coeds" is also considered sexist and dated nowadays.

Added DiffLines:

* CreatorBacklash: Game director David Fox wasn't too fond of the MS-DOS port, feeling that the EGA graphics standard didn't do justice to the updated artwork, and that the game's theme song was absolutely butchered due to the port only supporting the PC speaker.

The plan changed after Fox held a brainstorming session with Ron Gilbert, who convinced him to add more wacky humour to the game.
