Description
A puzzle game for the BBC Micro, released by Meridian Games in 1982 and never reissued.
Provenance
Donated by the creator’s family in 2021. 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.
