Your thread was about DOS/PC games and you're posting an auction to an Apple II game? That release is a bit different compared to the later Sierra PC releases, that was back when Sierra was first started and that first release was all duplicated by hand and sold locally. That first version is very rare, and that copy is still described as working which makes it even rarer. I'm not surprised by the final value it sold at.Originally Posted by jonebone
Akalabeth: World of Doom is another game that would sell for big bucks for the same reason. It's important because it's the first in the Ultima series, and the original release is extremely rare because it was duplicated by hand and only sold locally. The first version of Akalabeth is even rarer than Mystery House, if a copy came up for sale and was well advertised prepare for a very large selling price.
