I doubt many people would recognize a mosque if it was built without telling. Probably can't get away with telling people this game is a synagogue though.
And I bet in some issue of Nintendo Power circa 1993 there was a short blurb explaining how this game was "unique". There probably were some dog puns involved.
I seem to recall that article, and I think it was actually Disney Adventures rather than Nintendo Power. In the heady days of Nintendo Fever, they were virtually indistinguishable. At one point Disney Adventures actually printed a comic book version of one of the Donald Duck platformers.
All of man's scientific and musical genius, every moment of inspiration and innovation, every drop of blood shed for every empire, every son and daughter nurtured, and every drop of sweat sees culmination in this videogame about a dog.
