- Volume II: Realm of Thor
- Volume III: Thor's Revenge
The source code of the game used to be available for U$195.00 (in 1990) directly from Todd Replogle. The game was discontinued, and it was later re-released as freeware by Apogee in December 2005. See also list of commercial games released as freeware.
