Velvet Mines

Delphine Jung, 1992. Game for the BBC Micro.

Description

A flight simulator for the BBC Micro, written by Delphine Jung and sold by mail order.

Provenance

Sent to Lazarus by post, with a note asking whether anything could be saved. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. About 83 percent of the data could be read; the gaps are mapped.
