Description
A graphic adventure for MSX computers, written by Adebayo Farah and sold by mail order.
Provenance
Transferred from the backlog of unread media at a partner archive. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. All of the work survives. The repairs are listed in the record’s damage map.
