This tape was owned by Samantha Lawson and her brother when she was seven years old in 1985-1986. The object is a company game made for Amstrad's range of 8-bit computers, the Amstrad CPC 464, 664, 6128. The Amstrad colour personal computer was one of three market leading home computers in the 1980s along with the Spectrum ZX and the Commodore 64. Games were purchased in a tape format and were loaded in to the in-built tape deck that could take around 20 minutes to load before they could be played.
