Description
A platform game for MSX computers, released by Pylon Software in 1986 and never reissued.
Provenance
Found in a school storeroom when the building was cleared. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
