Based on the prices paid for the previous copies of Mt. Drash that
have changed hands, I'd say that auction has a long way to go. Don't
be surprised if it sells for a few grand.

Wow!

It's well known and considered one of the holy grails of gaming
software. Rarity aside, it isn't anything to write home about and only
worth playing so you can say you have. There is a bit of background
about the game at the Wikipedia [1] and if you'd like to try it for
yourself you can download a copy from Zimmers [2]. Also, Mt. Drash is
included (in the form of an Easter egg) on the VIC-20 Mega-Cart [3].
