This game was likely first released in november of 1992, though we have no exact release date for this particular version. No less than three trainers were released in november and december; A megatrainer by Sintax/The Silents on november 26th (TSL-LTWP.DEX), a +45 trainer by Anthrox on november 27th (ATX-LWTR.DMS) and finally a 'trainer' from Alpha Flight on december 1st (AFL-LW+4.DEX). The docs for the game were released on november 28th (LETHAL.DOC).

As far as we have been able to find out, two fixes were later made available; Whirlwind brought out a 'Fabre fixed' (whatever that means) version on may 11th, 1998 (WW-LTWPN.LZX) and Faction released a '680x0/HD FiXED' version on september 28th, 1999.
