Description
A space trading game for the ZX Spectrum, released by Ong Interactive in 1986 and never reissued.
Provenance
Deposited by University of Barbridge, Special Collections, which had held it unread for years. The tape was sticky with binder breakdown and was baked at low temperature before a single careful read. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
