Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this a DVD-R or a “real” DVD?
   This is a genuine, mass-produced, professionally glass-mastered DVD.
2. What is included?
   The game includes a disc with full-color offset printing, a 16-page full-color manual, full-color outer wrap, and a black Amaray DVD case. The game is also shrink-wrapped.
3. Are there any changes to the game?
   The game itself is 100% identical to the version published by Hasbro Interactive when NUON was on the market. It has been tested on the Samsung N501 and Toshiba SD-2300.
4. What is NUON anyway?
   NUON was a “DVD plus” technology released by VM Labs in 2000. It added multimedia capabilities to DVD players, including the ability to play games. At the time, it was supported by a variety of manufacturers, including Samsung, RCA, and Toshiba. Many former Atari Corporation employees worked for VM Labs, so it was considered by some to be the “spiritual successor” to Atari gaming consoles. Unfortunately, NUON never really caught on, and had a very limited market life with just a handful of published games before the demise of VM Labs in 2003.
5. Where can I learn more about NUON?
   NUON-Dome contains a wealth of information about NUON games and systems.
