A space trading game for the ZX Spectrum, released by Quill Games in 1986 and never reissued.

Deposited by Redhurst University Library, which had held it unread for years. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Everything was recovered, with a few damaged files repaired from a second copy.
