Story

The game centres around a teen dragon named Bert. He lives with his father Herbert and mother Berta. Bert's father leaves to look for treasure. In his absence, Bert befriends the evil magic wand Evelyn.

His father did not return for a long time, and the wand also disappeared. Therefore, Bert decides to find them.

Development

Early development commenced in 1994, by a group called NoSense, consisting of students at Masaryk University, in Brno, Czech Republic. The team consisted of programmers Pavel Pospíšil, Lukáš Svoboda and Robert Špalek; graphic artists Jakub Dvorský, Pavel Jura and Jan Pokorný; and musician Radovan Kramář. These students knew members of the small development team Pterodon, which had been responsible for Tajemství Oslího ostrova, a noted success at the time. Hoping to outdo the Pterodon team, the team grew and eventually consisted of seven people.

During 1994 and early 1995, NoSense focused on finding artists and writing a story. Active development began in mid-1995. The game was designed to be a grotesque adventure with unbridled jokes, and contained forty locations.
