I know this game was pulled from the shelves after it received a Gold Medal from Zzzap, due to it`s "likeness" to a certain Nintendo game. Just a few questions:
1. Did it get BANNED completely?
2. Is it the original a collectors item now and if so....
3. How much is the boxed original worth?

1. Yes
2. All boxed c64 games are collectable, this one especially so.
3. Probably not as much as you'd think. Although there's always someone, somewhere, willing to pay a stupid price.

I had this a pirate version of this game a good 4 months or so before it's official release and I remember seeing it on the shelves of my local software shop but not buying it. One of those thinigs you regret - a bit like throwing away all of issues 1-72 of Zzap when I was about 18!

1) No. It was on shelves for a week or so here before being pulled, but was still on sale in Germany (as Katakis still was).
2) Yes.
3) Whatever people will pay for it. I paid �15 for my tape version a few years back.

I had a copy the first time around, then thought i was really clever using a mark iv cartridge to copy it then sell off the original for a fiver...They're not quite anitques yet though!
