Mark Edwars has posted some pictures of a cassette with labels reporting that it contains two different early version of Xargon Wars: one side should contain a pre production copy, one side is tagged as any level version. Yet further contacted, Mark has never answered back to say more about that cassette. Anthony J. Clarke, author of the game, reacted on Twitter feeling amazed once he'd seen the pictures, but he'd never confirmed clearly he produced those tapes personally.
