The cool thing about this game was that the publisher sold it for $5.
I'm fairly certain it's the first program I ever bought, because even way
back then, when $5 was "a lot" to me (as a kid), I knew that was dirt cheap
for software.  The deal was described in an A+ issue, and I sent off my
money fairly soon.  (One of the other early things I bought was Armor Alley
for the Mac.. Someone I knew worked at some software company at the time and
did a "trade" between employees of different companies at the employee prices..
and I'd lug my mom's SE around to play Armor Alley.  Damn, I'm still POed there
isn't a GS version of this game, since it's an updating of the great Apple II
game, Rescue Raiders.)

I think that's one of my 5.25" disks that have gone bad though..
(Jeez, I should probably borrow a CDROM burner to make images of my 5.25"
disks, even though a large proportion of it is pirated software..)

Hmm, if they sold the game so inexpensively back then I wonder if they'd
consider putting it into the public domain or releasing it as shareware.
It was some puny company (maybe a one-person operation) here in Sunnyvale
I think.
