Der finale Test von Peter Pack Rat fand in der Spielhalle Merlin's Castle in San Jose statt, hier wurde gezielt nach Fehlern gesucht und letzte Feineinstellungen vorgenommen, bevor das Spiel veröffentlicht wurde. Software Creations aus Manchester portierte das Spiel 1989 auf Amstrad/Schneider CPC, Commodore 64 und Sinclair ZX Spectrum, vertrieben wurden die Spiele von der British Telecom-Division Telecomsoft unter dem Label Silverbird Software. Eine weitere Version sollte für die PC Engine erscheinen und wurde in der Ausgabe 5/92 des PC Engine Fan-Magazins bereits angekündigt, allerdings wurde das Spiel wieder gestrichen. Der Soundtrack des Spiels erschien im Juli 1991 auf dem Compilation-Album That's Atari Music - G.S.M. Atari Games 1. |
