I can’t read the year on the image, so can you confirm it’s 1983, as I had it down as 1982: https://llamasoftarchive.org/8bitgames/rox-64/ …
As an 'old school' gamer I enjoy collecting the works of my fave game creators. Some little seen gems from decades gone by catch my eye or are simply 'needed'. This is 'ROX' , the first C64 title from Llamasoft-1983.Sold in small numbers at computer shows & was tricky to find.

Love that... that is an awesome tape. How long you had that?
-
A few years...for this copy. I didnt come back to the 64 till a few years ago. My original run when I had it was 83-89, then worked hard to get stuff back and complete what I hadn't the first time.

Written in BASIC if I remember.

It was indeed... and appeared as a "type in listing" in a magazine some time later too.

I remember typing the listing in from the Commodore User supplement (May 85 I think), really playable for pure basic...

I remember typing in listing too..! I think the story gos that it was written by Jeff Minter on the day he got the Commodore 64. In the inlay Jeff encourages the player to veiw the listing and maybe make their own alterations to the game.
