Stickman!
Do you think you have a personal copy of the 1978 original?

If I do, it is either in the box of unmarked Apple ][ software or in my dsk collection. I will check tonight.Exhuminator wrote:Do you think you have a personal copy of the 1978 original?
Actually, have you tried these:

They claim to have it in 13 and 16 sector versions. 13 sector should be legit 1978, since 16 sector was released in 80.

I think you missed my edit on my last post. That 13 sector version should be exactly what you are looking for.
I went through my box until my drive 1 stopped working, so far no luck.

Okay, I will give that 13 sector version a try, thanks.fastbilly1 wrote:I think you missed my edit on my last post. That 13 sector version should be exactly what you are looking for.

I'm gonna have to see if I can find a manual for this game, the 1978 version at least, due to it utilizing a tremendous amount of keyboard commands.
I appreciate your support!

The 78 manual will be tough to find, but here is the 82 one:

The controls should be the same.
