Thanks to a collaboration between iam8bit and the Video Game History Foundation, this unreleased gem will be available as a fully polished cartridge edition, priced at $100. This release not only revives a piece of gaming history but also sheds light on the challenges of preserving 8-bit games and the importance of archival efforts.
