Tape specialist needed!

Hi folks,
I URGENTLY need someone who is really into saving crappy tapes from oblivion. I have a tape here which is most probably the very only copy of a game worldwide, and the copy has serious problems (echo on the track?). I had already some experienced people looking at it, but so far to no avail. Anybody up to the challenge? Please PM me!

I've been told that LCP is a very nice place to release things... ;)

Sorry, Ninja was misinformed. One tape saved, but that was much easier than the other one, as this was a "real" original, and the other one is a "handmade" original (a Nicaragua solidarity game called "No Pasaran!" btw).
The game that we saved would indeed make a nice firstie for LCP, but I doubt if the guys will manage an intro in time. ;)

Hey! You have almost two weeks to code that intro!

Nicaraguan games sounds like something... :)

Hehe, it is actually a solidarity game from a local chapter of the Socialist German Workers´ Youth; apparently they sold it to donate the money for projects in Nicaragua. I have no clue about the actual game, though.
I wrote an email to SLC, let´s see what he answers. Fingers crossed!
