Nice work beebsters!

I've a question about the packaging:

* Where'd ya get the disc containers? Were they especially pressed from a plastics company, or was it merely leftover seethrough plastic stock from years gone by?

(Not to mention where you got the blank discs from - I've found it very difficult to get unused blank floppy discs from anywhere but one or two stray batches from eBay.)

Now that the Retro Software website is back up and running (thanks Richard Toohey!) I've updated the Zap! page with downloads for all three formats that the game was originally released on:
  • BBC Micro DFS (.ssd)
  • BBC Micro Tape (.uef)
  • BBC Master Compact ADFS (.adf)
So you can now grab the Tape and Master Compact versions in addition to BBC DFS :) ...
