They had the EM game and were transitioning over to SS. So they'd take existing EMs and modify them to be run on the SS platform. Some they already had a bunch of EMs and made a few SS versions like Bow and Arrow. Other times it seemed like they really wanted to make the SS version but probably made a few EMs just to compare like Evel Knievel.
