Gameplay[edit]

Development[edit]

Cardiaxx was developed by David Mariner and Jon Mitchell of Eclipse Design, with Josef Karthauser 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, the Atari 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]}

Reception[edit]

Cardiaxx received generally positive reception from video game critics.
