Yeah, it was quite a common game back in the day. I helped sell quite a lot of them. I think I have around half a dozen copies here but I have only one Officer's Manual. That's the only thing I don't like about it. The manual is required just to open the game as it needs a code word from a particular line on a particular page and that code word changes each time the game is started. One time it could be word three of line five on page five, next time it could be word four of line three on page eighteen or it could be word two of line six on page forty, etc, etc, etc. I've circled some throughout the years but certainly not enough.

Well - I'm sure you remember that copy machines were expensive devils back them. It was way more expensive to copy the manual page by page, than it was to purchase the game outright. That random page/word thingy was their attempt at copy guarding their software against "Pirates" They did try though!!!!!
