Description
A shoot-’em-up for the ZX Spectrum that Isaac Jung wrote alone and released as shareware in 1988.
Provenance
Transferred from the backlog of unread media at a partner archive. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. All files were recovered; 17 damaged sectors were rebuilt from redundant data.
