A scarce Answer Software cartridge from a publisher whose other rarity has been faked.

Before you buy

Medium risk. No Malagai fakes are documented, but a fake of Answer Software's Gauntlet sold as an original in 2015 and was caught because it sat in the wrong shell with the wrong label design. Apply the same test: compare the shell and label against AtariAge's scans of genuine Answer Software carts, and ask for a board photo through the dust door.
