Amongst some old Speccy tapes I found this (below). Can't find it in the archive and not sure if the cardboard outer sleeve needs scanning for preservation purposes, anybody?

    One of the inlays available at the archive seems to be slightly different (black letters instead of white ones in your inlay):

    So, I think it would be great if you upload it.

    As for the sleeve, upload it too (I've never seen anything like this!)

    Does anybody know of any other game with inlay cardboard sleeve?

    Yes, I noticed that afterwards that all the early A & F ones had Black text on the Blue background, except mine, which is white with Blue. Also, it has a plain inside with loading instructions printed and glued inside a bit wonky too. It looks as if its a very early release maybe;

    www.stairwaytohell.com has some cover scans of early A&F games. They seem to have chosen orangy red for the BBC.

    It is odd as none of the other a&f titles seem to have had it. Or maybe its just never been preserved?

    Following on from the exciting (maybe not so) discovery of an apparently as before unseen cardboard outer sleeve emblazoned with A & F Software encasing Jungle Fever, I thought it prudent to make a .tzx of said game to check if like its inlay it was different to the archive material. And...it seems it is! Though there is V1 and V2 in the archive, V1 doesn't actually load for me at all, not sure if anyone else has this issue? V2 however shows 2 copies of the same game, obviously recorded twice. My copy however has only one recording and its different in length to V2 in the archive. As my inlay is less finished looking, maybe it could be classified as v1.5 or something. Anyway, tzx link here in case anyone would like to try it and clarify if indeed it is different. The full scan of the inlay and sleeve is done now and will be uploaded soon.
