Don't know why Rescue Raiders is bigger; but, it is. It looks like an
extra 128 bytes (almost all zeroes) got tacked on. A 143,360-byte .dsk image
copy has been made using Disk Muncher and uploaded to TikTok at
http://208.167.74.218/tiktok/ (click "ActionGames"). The game seems to work
okay.
By the way, you can press Esc to get past most of the intro stuff and
press both joystick buttons at once to start the first mission.
