It's obvious from the screenshot that the PC version is not an official conversion, but one of many freeware clones. It should be split to its own entry and put in the group "Fangames".

Yes, it is described as a port from the BBC by Robert Schmidt on wikipedia:

(wiki also lists additional platforms, 'acorn electron' and our soon to be 'arcade')
...and here:

(the page has a free download of this version and a later remake too)
...and here some back story to the PC ports from the BBC:
