Yes, they've re-released it, which is why I saw it (gameplanet.co.nz) and ordedered it.
The other thing about these old adventure titles is that back in the day, it was unlikely you'd be able to grab a walkthrough from the internet, so they could be considerably more frustrating to play than today. Don't know about you, but I simply can't be bothered spending too much time now trying to solve some of the more obscure clues (and these old adventure games always seemed to have one or more points that just seemed to make little sense) - so I use a walkthrough for one or two hints.
But back in the really old days (text only adventures on a vic20 cartridge), you had to not only guess the correct action, but also the correct phrase, e.g 'use bucket on vampire' vs "use bucket with vampire". So I figure I've paid my dues so to speak.
