The game was inspired by designer Brad Stewart’s experience with helping a hot air balloon’s ground crew, while he was in college, and was planned to be a race between two balloons (with a 2-player option). Although the artwork depicts WWI-era biplanes/triplanes, none were planned. The playing area is 2 screens high and 27 screens wide. Although nearly finished and showcased at the Winter CES in 1983, the game was never released.
