Trivia +
Spinnaker's game Star Tribes: Myth of the DragonLord has been advertised in early 1990, but was never released (it had a full-page advertisement in Computer Gaming World #69, p.17). The game was described as a "futuristic role-playing adventure of epic proportions" featuring "dazzling clay animation characters" and "incredible graphics".
