| Menu (Michigan Astrobugs Tape 2, Side 1) | Michigan Astro Bugs Tape 2 | This program is archived for historical purposes, since it no longer serves any purpose. Paul Thacker notes: "The menu seems to run, but I can't load a program through it. I make a selection, it says to start the tape, I play the program it's looking for, then it just crashes. The programs [from the tape] can,however, be loaded without the menu." | |
