Stanford University have since a few years ago inherited a collection of about 25,000 video games, and are about to archive them.
Of particular interest for VIC-20 people are Mole Attack in the beginning of the video, and especially a boxed copy of Ultima: Escape from Mt. Drash which the curator describes as ".. some version of Ultima that I'm curious about".

Maybe they're concerned whether already archived software are "pure", or only available in cracked, single-filed and modified versions.
Perhaps it was due to the fact he had looked up Ultima: EMD that he wanted to show it off. And yes, an obscure game that fetches in the range of $3000+ is something to be curious about. A behaviourist (?) probably would be more curious about the people who are willing to spend so much money on an obsolete computer game.![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
