This article seems to mix and match information about the trilogy re-release throughout. That is somewhat understandable, as information from the re-release completely drowns it out. The original was in textmode, and released for systems like the Apple I, TRS-80, and the Commodore PET. I would make a screenshot from inside the game, but I've yet to find a working copy for any of those systems. Other than the title screen or initial character setup, the game seems to crash afterwards. This might be because of the mixture of floppy and cassette, and the emulators might not like that. Or it might be because there isn't a proper copy available. The closest you'll ever get to seeing it is from the Strongbad email, but that is simply a re-creation from either the back of the box or the manual (I can't remember).

Anyways, if someone has more information about the ORIGINAL game, please add this information! And also please separate the two versions of the games, as they look and play different. 24.165.203.79 03:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC) edited 24.165.203.79 03:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

The release date is given as 1980, but I have an earlier version (1978 or 1979, can't remember which) released by 'Automated Systems' (the old name for Epyx). Sometime I'll find the disk and check it out so I can maybe make some edits.

[edit] Wrong caption on screenshot

The screenshot is from Gateway to Apshai, not from Temple of Apshai. JIP | Talk 07:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Really? How do you know? I think we were just going by the information on the image's page. If it really is from Gateway, that information should be changed. Thanks. — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I know, because I've played Gateway for years, and the Commodore 64 version definitely looks like that. I've never played Temple, but from the screenshots shown on the external link pages, it looks different. JIP | Talk 20:07, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Is there anyway to access the old screenshot? The Gateway to Apshai article lacks one. Night1stalker 22:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
