I recently acquired an older IBM PC game that I know nothing about in terms of rarity, desire or potential value. It is called Decision in the Desert by MicroProse and states it is part of the "Command Series". It is new and still sealed which I found to be amazing but I don't know. The back states it is by Sid Meir and Edward Bever. The box has a little shelf wear but is still sealed and not too bad....a little crushing near the bottom but again, not bad.

Anyone have any idea if these kind of games are still desirable in this condition and/or the value I might anticipate? Pictures below, thanks for any thoughts.

Not worth that much on IBM,
maybe worth more on Apple ][, XL or C64
Sealed maybe a bit more ...$10.00 perhaps? Could be wrong though. Maybe more later, there are a lot of War game fanatics who'd like it and old Microprose stuff is getting rarer on ebay these days.

Excellent game, BTW.
