Sure, you can test your luck by trying to find a copy of it at a flea market or a yard sale, but from my personal retro game hunting experience, I have seen this game only about a handful of times in the wild. As I am writing this article, the game is currently going for a median price of about $15 between all of the cheaper listings on eBay and Amazon.
