Version differences
- In 2002, a pre-alpha copy of the game was leaked to the PC PowerPlay magazine in Australia, thinking it was a demo. This version was extremely unstable, crashing constantly, causing outrage from some fans before the game was even officially released. Due to being released by an Australian magazine, fans have come to refer to this version as KangaMOO!
Essential improvements
Patches
- The latest official patch is version 1.25.
