The retail version of '' Far Gate '' was scheduled for release for PC on September 11 , 2001 . However it did not reach many stores until later that week . The developers acknowledged that it was unfortunate that the release date coincided with the September 11 attacks . In a September 11 press release Super X Studio stated that as developers they " have an opportunity to use our unique story-telling medium to promote ideals of education , humanity and global cooperation , just as the mediums of art , poetry , books , and movies have been used by wise and compassionate individuals in the past . " In the United States '' Far Gate '' 's recommended retail price was set at $ 29.99 USD . A free playable demo was also made available for download from the site of developer Super X Studios , which featured two single player missions and a self-running demo mode
