Description
An arcade space trading game by Kestrel Software, 1991, read from the board’s ROMs.
Provenance
Rescued from a skip outside a former office in Hartbury. The window labels had peeled and the EPROMs had been exposed to light, so each was read many times. The image matches a checksum published by the original distributor.
