The Hunt for Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete
Im not exactly a collecter of video games rather than I am of cool stuff I can put on my shelf. Something that has managed to escape my grasp for years so happens to be Bungie's official first game Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete. The game seems to be almost impossible to find in any original sort. Even the almighty Ebay doesn't have any records of ever even having a sale of any copy on there. As far as rare games go, there is usually some trace of them somewhere. This however doesn't seem to have existed.
After much digging, It seems there was only ever 2500 copies produced. Thats pretty rare, but nothing that should be this hard in finding. And yes, I know there packaged it up again in some ActionSacks. Im only interested in the Original box set, If there even is one. It's not even in the league of 'Akalabeth' (some of you oldies might know what that is) but It does seem to be highly ilusive.
Bungie doesn't usually dain to respond to these types of threads but I would appreciate some light being shed on where I could find a copy. I know you guys have copy hidden somewhere *readys grappling hook*

Alkalabeth is an early roguelike informally named Ultima 0. You go into first person wireframe dungeons, kill monsters and pig out constantly on random food as your character dies of starvation the minute he or she runs out, just like some of the other early Ultima games. On the subject on Minotaur, I'm a Windows user and I'd like it if Bungie or at least Alex released Minotaur for all platforms on GOG and Steam, adding a botmatch mode for if you can't convince your friends to kill their enemies, your enemies and you like me, along with an Aleph One version of Marathon 1 CD with all 16 CD audio songs as a bonus and the missing bonus levels from the PC version of M1A1. Plus Gnop as a free minigame for good measure. I played the flash remake on Bungie's site and think it's a good Pong clone even if it's just Mac pong with a sense of humour.
