Hi,

the Atari 2600 version was not published by Compute! Magazine. On the AtariAge website there is no mention they got the permission from Compute! to publish the game. Doesn't this mean the 2600 entry must be split or even deleted completely?

Best regards, Thomas

Could be it is now considered an unofficial port to the Atari 2600?

The last descriptive entry for the game at AtariAge was archived in 2016:

(I see some forum posts still mention it; maybe it was a limited run production, not sold anymore?)

I think the current description is quite the same. No mention of it being an official port.
