Airball GS shrinkwrapped box

Airball GS shrinkwrapped box by blakespot.
Airball for the Apple IIgs in a never-opened, shrinkwrapped box. I won this in an eBay auction run by famed Apple IIgs developer Jason Harper. Only 144 copies of this game were ever sold by Michtron/Microdeal. (They seemed to have no idea how to market it.)

The game was originally written for the Atari ST, with ports to various other platforms.

Read the full story of this acquisition at Byte Cellar, my retro computing blog.

Heh, I remember a magazine review of the ST version, they seemed to think it was alright, if largely a take on the old Marble Madness idea. And that sold fine, bet this would have done well if they just span the old "breathing new life into a well-loved classic" line.
