This page contains no introduction.
What makes this game notable or what is it about? Are you a bad enough dude to save this article?

To do:
From https://www.digitpress.com/eastereggs/26blueprint.htm:

  • CBS Games had a contest with this game. You had to find the secret word, TEALPEHN (picture #1 and video), and then send in an entry form to enter. The word was a hint to an upcoming "surprise" from CBS (future game?). Other than the fact the word can be anagrammed into either "ELEPHANT" or "THEPLANE" (was this in reference to the unreleased game, Wings?), nothing else is known about it. After uncovering the secret word, a box with an "X" inside it appears on the title screen (picture #2 and video). {Scott Stilphen}
  • A prototype version exists that not only has different "solutions" for each level, but a different secret word, SAPIENCE (picture #3), which is a synonym for wisdom. {Scott Stilphen}
