"Contains the codes needed to access cassette
version, which is available on the site as an mp3
download."

Hmm, I find myself wondering if an MP3 of the tape is
really such a good idea. See, I know that the tape
imputs data into the computer by means of sound, and I
also know that MP3 reduces the size of a sound file by
A) removing frequencies it thinks the human ear
can't hear and B) removing tiny sections of sound after
particularly loud moments (so I've been told anyway) because
again it thinks you don't notice them. This in mind,
wouldn't an MP3 of a tape game run the risk of missing
bits of game data?
