Plumb Crazy (New TAP port)

As promised for Mayhem, i've recently ported a rather unseen Vic 20 game... Plumb Crazy by Terminal Software in 1985.
More commonly known by its C64 incarnation, I was a bit shocked to see that a Vic 20 version existed and snapped it up.

Unfortunately i've had some trouble porting, and get a loading error in emulation mode. I think its to do with the turbo load it uses. It might require someone with TAP expertise to have a look if possible?
Otherwise I can do some more ports if need be?

Inlays are also included. Please feel free to place on any archive sites etc.

If I'm not mistaken the 64 version was released in 1983. Did the VIC-20 version come out after the 64 version?

Indeed it seems it was released later - around 2 years, which is really odd. Very late into Terminal Software's life.

I said to Frank that I thought I might already have this... but now he mentions this, it might be the C64 version I own. I'm sure there is something going on with the emulation of the loader however, something about it being a bitch to get it through to the end...

Hi there, I wrote the Vic-20 version and then sold it to Terminal, it was written from scratch and not a port!! Hours of machine code hell without a decompiler!
