TOUCAN'S
TRIVIA: According to early promotional material, the generator
located in the upper left corner of the screen was intended to flood
the sewer and kill all the rats. This would help the player in locating
the bomb since there would be no rats to avoid for a few seconds
(although the alligator would still be lurking around). In the released
version of the game, however, the generator's functionality was removed
making it impossible to flood the sewer. It's very likely that Milton
Bradley thought it would be too easy if someone were able to kill all
the rats in one quick sweep. |
