This auction is an extremely rare version of Akalabeth and Ultima for
the Apple II. This is the original version of Ultima.

The package includes all the original materials: plastic bag, cover art
for both games, player reference card and floppies.

And people wonder why I don't buy from eBay anymore. You know where I
got my Ultima/Autoduel/Moebius three-pack from? A brick-and-mortar retail
software store. I learned the hard way that every honest sale on eBay is
negated by ten crooked ones.

person from using eBay...

'Course, that's not what people buying Akalabeth on Ebay are looking
for. My ebay experiences have all been great. That being said, a
reserve auction really does waste everyone's time by making it look
like you have a chance at a low bid when, in fact, you don't.
