''Lethal Xcess'' has been the first commercial project of Heinz Rudolf and Claus Frein, although they had some offers before; due to the disappointing sales, both quit the gaming industry and became IT consultants.

Besides many technically impressive features, such as digital sound, sync-scrolling, [[overscan]], and full two-player support, all original copies of ''Lethal Xcess'' featured [[dual format]], which allowed the Amiga and Atari versions to boot from the very same disk.<ref name=rg>''Retro Gamer'' 123, page 68.</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.edv-rudolf.de/lethal-xcess/tech.htm |title=The official Lethal Xcess Website - Technical Details |website=Edv-rudolf.de |date= |accessdate=2016-08-12}}</ref> An abortive [[Commodore 64]] version was also under development by a different team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.edv-rudolf.de/lethal-xcess/gallery/c64lvl1.htm |title=The official Lethal Xcess Website - Gallery of the C64 Remains |website=Edv-rudolf.de |date= |accessdate=2016-08-12}}</ref>
