Auction ended March 18th because "item no longer available"! I'm guessing that the seller got an off-ebay offer.

I've told this story here before, but back at the World of Commodore show in Toronto about 1983-4 I held a sealed copy of this game in my hands which I found on a software clearance rack for $9 Canadian. I was intrigued by it and briefly thought about buying it. But I had already moved onto the Commodore 64 at that point and so put it back on the shelf.

Yeah, but not having any idea it would be worth much more in the years to come, I probably would have opened it, thrown away the box and just kept the cassette and instructions (which I did at that time as a young teenager).
