The sad thing is that I had a chance to buy a brand new copy of it
back in the early '90s. The local EB dragged out a copy I guess that
had accidentally tucked away in the back. The things was, they still
had it marked at 1980s prices! I wasn't gonna pay that much for a CGA
game when VGA was nearly the standard. Now, from a "software
collecting" perspective, it seems like a missed opportunity.

Let me add that the Apple II versions of these Atarisoft games seemed
very good to me:
Mario Bros.
Moon Patrol
Robotron
I may have "acquired" a few others back in the day, but these are the
three that I still recall as being impressed with. And the colors are
better than on the PC! 8)
