    In the game a runaway slave named Jim is portrayed as having giant red and orange striped lips, pitch black skin, a bright orange afro and small white eyes. His appearance, which is considered racist and offensive in North America, is said to be one of the reasons why the game was never released in North America, despite being based on a story written by a famous American author.
