I'd appreciate that NIB too. I bought the red box version to resolve
my confusion around illegal opcode use, as there was a file-based
version floating around that had an opcode that actually hung the CPU.

Anyway. the version I bought was fine, though I didn't test it on a
GS. I put up a working NIB with some comments in 2007:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/action/MoonPatrol.nib.zip

Ms Pacman, Roundabout and Bug Attack also used illegal ops.

Cheers,
Nick.
