It's kind of funny to see a $40 price tag on an Apple wargame in 1981. And people bitch about $50-60 in 2015 :) >From the October 1990 issue: "The IBM version of Red Baron will be released in October ($59.95). An Amiga version is planned but no release date has been announced." Holy shit they were ahead of their time. They predicted the base price of a AAA title 2.5 decades later ;)
