$18 was it on Cartridge?

Probably traceable to a german magazine listing eventually ;-)

I don't have Quest archived either by the looks of it in GB20, so very weird indeed! I imagine there's probably some files on Zimmers not in the database mind you.

Confusingly this is not the same game as the C64 classic - Attack of the Mutant Camels

Pedant correction time. It's not Gridrunner it was the sequel Matrix renamed as AMC in the US by HES. They didn't like the original name and pinched it from one of Jeff's other games. When the real AMC was sold in the US on tape it was called Advance of the Mega Camels.

Amazing that they were charging $18 for that in 1983.
Indeed, 77 lines of BASIC. And the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics calls that $47.00 in July 2020 dollars.
