Description
A sports game for the BBC Micro, released by Quill Software in 1994 and never reissued.
Provenance
Deposited by Ferncombe Falls Computer Heritage Centre, from its own collections. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Only fragments could be read. They are kept because nothing else of the work survives.
