Indeed, it's completely real. I used to have an A500 with Kickstart v1.337 before I upgraded to v3.1.
When I phoned in to BBSes it immediately took over control of the remote machine. It even worked with NASA and the CIA.
Insiders referred to it as K1ckst4rt (notice the 1 and 4 in there? - Indeed, THIS was the REAL Kickstart 1.4!).
