Here's an insane factoid (that I don't think you mentioned, apologies if I missed it): the character designs for this game were done by Jean Giraud, also known as Mœbius. You may recognize him as a world-acclaimed comic book artist, the concept artist for The Fifth Element, Tron, and Alien, the leading influential artist for the 80's cyberpunk movement (his work was the primary inspiration for Blade Runner's visual appearance and he was an influence of William Gibson), or as a founding creator of the cult comic magazine "Heavy Metal." He was friends with several manga artists and heavily influenced the Japanese animation and comic industry. He was a close friend of Miyazaki and even named his daughter Nausicaä after Miyazaki's awesome movie. Oh, and he worked on Space Jam.

One wonders why his biography skims over this particular work...
