The first several chapters of The Vor Game (chapter 1 through part of chapter 6) were originally published in a slightly different form as a novella entitled "The Weatherman" in the February 1990 issue of Analog magazine.
Nekoliko prvih poglavlja Vorske igre (od prvog do šestog poglavlja) prvotno su bile izdane u neznatno drugačijem obliku kao novela pod nazivom "Meteorolog" u veljači 1990. godine u časopisu Analog.
