I love this kind of thing! I recently did something similar, perhaps lower level, with some ZX Spectrum tapes from 1990. Saved them to wav (miraculously, they didn't stretch or snap!), literally fixed broken bits by hand (https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GabrielGambetta/posts/fcXkKmD8dow https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GabrielGambetta/posts/fcXkKmD8d...), and managed to recover my first "game", TOP CAT (https://plus.google.com/+GabrielGambetta/posts/8RkT5K2KR18 https://plus.google.com/+GabrielGambetta/posts/8RkT5K2KR18).
But my real challenge is much more interesting. I have a few tapes with more of my very early software... but they were stored using an extremely proprietary device, invented in my country, so essentially nobody knows that it exists (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=1000510 http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=1000510). I have the raw tapes, but I'm not sure how to get started, even. Probably try to interpret bits and trying to find strings. Exciting times ahead!
