Xor, Anyone?

RallyDriver asks: "Does anyone else remember the fiendish British puzzle game 'Xor' (pronounced 'Zor')? The game pieces were (among other things) theatrical masks, chickens, fish, dollies and two types of bombs. Was developed on the BBC micro and later ported to the ZX Spectrum and possibly Amiga, Atari ST and MS-DOS. It was produced by a little distributor above a pub in Gwdywr St, Cambridge, England, whose name escapes me." Darn. And they say that the US has all of the interesting games!

"It would be a great shame if this unqiue gem (think - Lemmings) were to be lost forever, so I was thinking of doing a C / X11 rewrite of the game engine (very easy and very portable) but I thought I'd ask to see if it had already been done. Also, does anyone know what the legal situation would be regarding distibution of the original game levels (concept, not exact binary data) with it? A RAM snapshot of the Spectrum version appeared a few years ago on one of these emulator download sites, but it was in Slovenia..."
