Akalabeth, written in 1980 by Richard Garriott (aka "Lord British"), is
the grandaddy of the classic Ultima series of role-playing games. It's
the first game set in the Ultima universe. What we have here is the
original Akalabeth for 48K Apple ][ computers with Applesoft ROM.
This copy of Akalabeth is all original materials, from the book and
ziplock baggie to the bag insert and the game itself. This copy of the
game was produced in the past year by Richard Garriott himself and sent
to us when we helped him locate some 5.25" double-sided, double-density
disks recently. All the materials date back to 1980 with the exception
of the diskette itself. Even the label is original.
There were several editions of Akalabeth; this is the original edition
which Richard Garriott self-published in 1980. Only twelve copies of
this edition were sold in 1980. This additional copy was created just
last year.
Our copy is in pristine condition, and is now for auction on eBay.
