The archives at NVG are for BBC software in general, not particular
pieces of software that run on one or more emulators.  Uploads of tape
software are just as welcome.  The same goes for Electron and Master
versions.  Some notes:

I appreciate a clear notification that it is a "special" version (e.g.
reflected by the archive name: Imogen-tape.zip, Meteors-elk.zip.)

Other versions of software that's *already in the archive* might be
rejected unless there are significant differences between the versions.
Example: Meteors uses mode 1 on the BBC, but mode 4 on the Electron.  I
consider that significant.  If the tape version of a game doesn't
include the level editor, but is otherwise identical, I consider it
insignificant, and the disk version would be retained.

Of course, as the archive expands, the criteria for rejection might
change, but for now, we take about anything.
