I've checked my copies, the black Kingsoft tape belongs to the Double Case blue Kingsoft release, AKA "Originial release"

@Crown thank you, gonna add these notes. Apparently the turbo version shows the blinking cursor, whereas the no turbo version doesn't. Possibly, the blinking version in the game, might be caused by the turbo itself...
You're right, that's a C64 version, which of course reports the right year.

I recall, that I've sent in a TAP with 1982 (C) recently, should be there, it was with a Kernal slow loader version.
It was the ASL multiplatform release tape, listed as Audiogenic No turbo TAP.
The cursor should blink during game play.
Looking at the Auction it is the multiplatform tape, the screenshot is from C64, and the photo showing the other side says C64. Now whether this was in a Kingsoft or ASL cover is the question

There's an eBay auction these days, in which a copy of this game has been proposed. The item is the Kingsoft version on tape, with black cassette and German language.
We knew that the Kingsoft version is the one dated 1985 on screen with sound turned on, as we've seen in the Plus-Paket 16 compilation with two colors turbo. But the screenshots of the auction clearly show a 1982 version. This would mean that the 1985 correction has been later done in the compilation version only.
We need the help of the software collectors, in order to check this black cassette version, if owned. Please, have a check for us and let us know the results under this thread. Thank you in advance.
