The game is notable for being Phil Spencer’s favorite game that he’s worked on while being employed at Microsoft due to the memories he has surrounding the game and that it was the first game he and his daughters finished:

"But to me it's really about the memories that are created and the fun that you had when you play games. And I'll always remember Voodoo Vince and finishing it with my daughters."
