In this interview: http://www.dadgum.com/halcyon/BOOK/BERRY.HTM
Danielle says this about her first game:
"What's the story behind the publication of your first game in 1978?
My first game was a four player business management game with a real-time auction for the Apple II 16K cassette machine titled "Wheeler Dealers." The Apple didn't have a four player input device so I built some and included them with the game. I convinced my publisher--Speakeasy Software of Canada--to underwrite the construction of five-hundred of these, to put them in a printed box, and to sell them at $35 apiece when other games sold for $15 max and came in a Ziploc bag. We sold fifty copies. However, this game was the launching pad for my career and was successively replicated in "Cartels& Cutthroats" and "M.U.L.E.""
Has anyone seen this game? or more preferable have some pictures of the controller?
I found a picture of the cover art here: http://ludix.com/moriarty/dani.html
Just an interesting footnote in Apple gaming that would be interesting to see.
