Spectrum - Skateboard Construction System

[sairuk]

Noticed a few oddities with this one when I was trying to cap a video of the title. These should probably be addressed in some manner, i will throw out current name -> proposed rename with some output from tzxtools.

I have no idea what the storage was like on the original tape unfortunately and can't seem to track down an insert scan atm to try and clarify, although I did have a look at Your Spectrum Issue 44 (pg 10) and it lists the KickTurn Game as first then the editor second

I am looking at the dat pack from 2021-02-14

This is the full tape including KickTurn - Game and Editor
Skateboard Construction System (1988)(Players)[a].tzx -> Skateboard Construction System (1988)(Players).tzx

This is an alt of the above but makes reference to the it being from the 'Your Sinclair Cover Tape Issue 44'

These appear to be a pair, where the Editor and KickTurn 'Free Game' have been stored separately
Skateboard Construction System - Editor (1988)(Players).tzx -> No Change
Skateboard Construction System (1988)(Players)[a3].tzx -> Skateboard Construction System - KickTurn Game (1988)(Players).tzx

This appears to be the Editor and KickTurn 'Free Game' combined from the separate rips above but the Demo Game is stored after the Editor
