Cardiaxx

Cardiaxx is a science-fiction scrolling shooter video game for the Commodore Amiga. It was developed by Eclipse Design and published by Electronic Zoo in 1991, although it was originally published by Electronic Zoo.[citation needed]  The game features a spaceship as it flies through various levels of varying graphic styles.[citation needed]  Each level has a boss at the end, and each level is separated by a sub-level of avoiding asteroids while the next level loads from the floppy disk.[citation needed]

Cardiaxx was developed by David Mariner and Jon Mitchell of Eclipse Design, with Joe Karthouser later joining them.[citation needed]  The game's original publisher, Electronic Zoo, failed to release funds owed to Eclipse Design for its development shortly after its public release in 1991.[citation needed]  As a result, theAtari ST version was never released, and legal action followed. However, Electronic Zoo closed down during the legal proceedings.[citation needed]  The game was later released by Team17, but again no funds beyond the initial signing fee were ever released.[citation needed]  Therefore, Mariner and Mitchell still retain all rights to Cardiaxx to this day.[citation needed].
