OK this is probably pushing things too far, but I noticed and wanted to share.
On tape, Defence Force was recorded 4 times: twice on each side. Mind you, I noticed there are differences between recordings on the same tape, and between different tapes. I came up with... 5 different versions, all from original tapes!
I've never played the game much, but I don't think it's changing anything in the game. I've just summed up the changes in the following file, in case anyone is curious to take a look some day. I suspect it's dead code, but still I wonder why doing 5 different recordings?

Re: Defence Force (the Tansoft game, on tape)
This is so exciting! I want to know what that dead code does! If you end up discovering disabled levels or something, I'm gonna fall over from squee'ing so much ..
