Then, why is it being promoted as being *rare*, if it ain't one of the
original twelve?

So far, I have seen three different Auctions for "Akalabeth". Being, the
ComputerLand, California Pacific Computers and now this one. I believe, the
California Pacific release is the 'official' one, that has a red manual
cover with a enlarged drawing, poster and diskette.

The ComputerLand edition reached $1,875.00, (never getting to the reserve
price) but the owner wanted $3,500.00! BTW - Started at $9.99!!

How much did, the other one go for??
