* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In order to ensure that the game was published in the form he wished, Kenji Eno [[https://archive.is/EbXwm resorted to actual fraud]]. First, he developed the game with no story line, concealing the cutscenes from his own staff, then submitted a 'clean' version to the board for approval. He then deliberately submitted the master late, knowing that he would then have to deliver it by hand to the U.S. manufacturers. That gave him time to 'switch' the clean disc with the version he intended, bypassing the censors completely![[note]]And doubtlessly damaging his reputation with them once they figured out the ruse, but apparently that was WorthIt.[[/note]]
