I bought this many years ago to play on my Apple IIc. More recently I found the DOS version online to run under DOSBox as well as the Apple version to play on an Apple II emulator. I had a lot of fun playing this game over the years. It plays a lot faster on my laptop under an emulator than it did on the old Apple IIc.
