It was widely distributed via PC BBSs throughout the late 80's / early 90's, even making it out to our remote 'neck of the woods' in Sask- atchewan. It was later re-released for the original Nintendo Enter- tainment System (NES) in the early 90's by a company named "Color Dreams", *without* Nintendo's official approval. How they avoided legal action from Nintendo itself is beyond me. ;)"
