Noticed a copy of this game for sale on eBay, and read up on how it is a recently discovered proto from a flea market. But I couldn't find any reviews..
Can anyone comment on it -- maybe write a review here? Is it playable? Any good? How many screens are there? Etc....

As far as I know it's an unplayable one screen demo.

Correct...it's just a demo.
I saw that boxed repro on eBay. I have no idea why anyone would bother.

Ah, I see -- that's too bad. So can you actually do anything other than just stare at the screen?

I just looked up the ebay auction. The seller makes it sound like the game is playable by saying "it's a magical multi-screen adventure! Help brave TALON,
wielder of the magic sword, rescue the fair ALANA from the evil sorcerer
XUSIA and his allies. Fight your way past an evil Kings soldiers to breach the gates
of magiccity."
The buyer will probably be pretty pissed off.

It's no way playable... this's only a demo ... and no, it's not made by CollectorVision, it's was sold by the Ebay store of the same name, actually a friend of mine who took off the same name as the CollectorVision Homebrew name...
Those (old) box was made by me and some was given to Krualgiz who at some time, sold them...
Anyway, you should just use an emulator to see it

It would be awesome if there was a playable version. I LOVE this movie. One of the few movies I can watch again and again. I wonder how they would have implemented the 3 bladed shooting sword. I wonder if it would have had infinite shots or just the 2?

I was really surprised by the movie... I watched it for the first time last year because of the ColecoVision game
Pretty cool 80s movie!
BIG is my favorite 80s movie ....and they mentioned Coleco as Toy competitor .... pretty cool!
And all those arcades and the famous fortune teller! .... what was the name?....can't remember right now! argh!
