i know this isnt console related but ive had this in my collection for a long time,and members here seem to be knowledgeable. its on tape and ive never had the ability to play it, i know its Scott Ludwig first published game. im curious to its rarity/value. only site i found gave it a rarity of 8 but no other info, any help would be appreciated :)

Its very nice, never seen or heard of this one. The downside is that its a cassette which aren't as desirable as carts but you do have it CIB and in very nice shape. I'm really hard pressed to assign any kind of monetary value to it but my gut "shot in the dark" guess would be about $20 US just based on its completeness and rarity. It could be more or less, I could be way off base. I know that's not the answer you're looking for, sorry.
Interestingly, it would appear the author made this game public domain back in 1996:

in all honesty im more interested in the rarity as opposed to the monetary value, its a curiosity more than anything else, ive never seen a game like this b4 or since and for the longest time i had no idea atari computers existed lol thanks for the info :)
