Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot using Sinclair JS ROM, 640 KiB emulator RAM and Toolkit II 2.32. With JS ROM, loaded the original vocabulary and started a game. Processed A E I O U R S N T, partially revealing ON_E and updating the graphics. A complete game and audio were not verified. Basic functional check in sQLux, not full validation or a physical-hardware test. Audio untested. ROMs are not included.
