I have made copies of the tape so it will not be lost. Though I don't
have a box, yet...
To what medium did you copy it? WAV

Another tape.

Sampling
should be fine, especially with a Vic tape which probably doesnt have

Just make sure you sample in MONO! On some tapes you get better results
by doing an 8-bit sample by the

One of the Dragons has also converted it as well, into an IBM

OK, I'll bite (finally). What is FM-TOWNS?
The FM-TOWNS is a Japanese computer that was release in the early 90s. I
think it featured a 386 processor and a CD-ROM drive, with some impressive
graphics and sounds capabilities for the time. Many western games

Zak is clearly a LOT better (it's a VGA version, 256-color version being

My most prized possessions are not really software: original Dragon's

years ago.

Isn't there a 256 VGA PC version of Zak?
Not that I know of... Now, of course, ScummVM can run the FM-TOWNS version,
so there is sort of a PC version...
