'Full Metal Planete' game is not a unfinished work. The game is complete and was available on the market with box & manual. I bought one at the time. The distribution was limited to France because of copyright issues. The team (Brainstorm) who had programmed the Apple IIgs version had also programmed the Macintosh port. They asked the right to make sell the Apple IIgs version. The editor agrees but with the restriction that it wil only apply to France.

'Full Metal Planete' is a classic game (like Monopoly) you play on a table with friends. The computer version came later (Atari ST, Amiga, PC), done by Infogrames (French company). They asked Brainstorm (french Apple IIgs / Macintosh programmers : Transprog III, Kangaroo, The Manager...) to port he game on Macintosh. So they have programmed the Macintosh version, and in the same way, they have done the Apple IIgs port. Infogamme didn't asked (or paid) for the IIgs version, but they agree Brainstorm to sell the Apple IIgs version in France.
