    It's been available through Shareware Solutions II ever since Joe Kohn
picked up it from Vitesse (the original publisher). When I had been more
active in the Lost Classics Project a number of years ago, I tried to have 
it reclassifed but to no avail.

    I can't imagine there are people (other from yourself) still buying the
game all these years later, but apparently it was still being sold as
recently as 6 months ago--the last time Joe's page was updated. Here's 
the actual product link: http://users.foxvalley.net/~joko/ultima.html and
here's a review: http://www.a2central.com/reviews/ultima1/index.html

    I think it has the distinction of being the _only_ Apple II game that is
still being published and sold as of today. :)
