I wonder about geographical distribution in those days, too. Did Metagaming have a good distribution system nationwide or was there a Texan or regional bias?
For me as an Australian I remember seeing a few copies on the shelves at gaming shops around 1983-85. I didn't buy it, although the covers left an impression with the gothic font and gloomy coloration (which I'm glad to see have been retained in the Legacy Edition). There can't have been many players in Australia at all, and if there was ever a hardcore Australian fan base I never came across it.
