"Q-Warrior" demo by "Opus 2"

Hi there!
I got these cassettes and a few others (at home recorded) when I bought an early VIC with the PET-keyboard recently:
I also sold them for 350 Swedish Kronor to a collector friend... Maybe to cheap yes, but it resulted in me paying only 100 SEK for the computer - that was half the shipping price.
I wonder about that Q-Warrior tape with the yellow DEMO-sticker..
The cassette and the load-picture says the company is called "Opus 2" but I can't find any such name for any other VIC-game... The package and cassette has Swedish origin. The inlay says "Package design by Lars Törngren", "Linköping SWEDEN 1983" - Linköping being a Swedish city, the cassette is marked "Programdistributören" has a Lindköping telephone number and is copyrighted to "POUS 2 SOFTWARE", "England 1983"
I don't think it's the same as the Bug-Byte version (although I haven't managed to load that one in VICE). And I also haven't been able to load this Demo further than the intro-screen, then it locks up, at best it has a white cross over the red screen with seemingly random graphical characters - I'm guessing it LOAD ERRORs.
Just thought I should ask.
