The Warp Zone :
Why did you then switch to American Video Entertainment?

Franz Lanzinger :
Dane O'Riva and I started Bitmasters, a small development company. We needed a publisher and AVE was our first real income.

You worked on Krazy Kreatures, that was a cool game. Why did you put more then one ending in it?

Because we thought that would be more fun.

We planned on a sequel, but with AVE going under it never happened.
