Much of the Macintosh version was developed in concert by Toy, Wichman, and Lane in a cabin at the Squaw Valley Ski Resort.
However, he agreed to help and joined A.I. Wichman was initially cautious due to the fact that his credit for Rogue in the PC version had been cast as a 'contribution' equal to the UCSC playtesters rather than as equal to Toy, Arnold, or Lane. Toy reached out Wichman to help with these graphics. Both Toy and Lane recognized that they could implement improved graphics with the Macintosh version, but neither had art skills to make the icons. Toy obtained an Macintosh and took the lead in marketing the game to that system.
