This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Welcome to !Trio.
======= == ======
!Trio is a desktop game, and as such it is fully multitasking. When loaded
the Trio icon will appear on the icon bar, and the main game "bucket" will
appear in the centre of the screen. The rules of the game follow shortly,
but here are some details of the windows and menus present:
Pressing menu over the main bucket, or over the icon bar icon will bring up
a menu with a number of options on it. These are:
�Info moving the pointer right will show you an info window.
�Keys click here to bring up the keys window, mentioned later.
�Score click here to bring up the score of the current player.
�Hiscore click here to show the current high score table.
�Pause click here to toggle pause on or off.
this option is greyed out after a game has ended.
�New game click here to start a new game, or abandon one in progress.
�Quit click here to terminate the application.
Entering the keys in the keys window sets the keys for the game, when you
click return, or select. Note that some keys cannot be used, and the program
does distinguish between lower and upper case letters. Be careful with
caps-lock!
Now for the game rules:
Rules:
During the course of the game numerous coloured blocks descend from the top
of the bucket. As these descend, using the appropriate keys they can be
moved left and right, and cycled so the coloured portions of the blocks
exchange places. They may also be dropped quickly. When the blocks reach the
bottom of the bucket, or land on top of another block, then they become
fixed there and can no longer be moved. Another block then begins the
journey down from the top of the bucket.
The object of the game is to position the blocks, so that lines of squares
which are the same colour and design are formed in the bucket. These lines
must be at least three squares long, but may run horizontally, vertically,
or diagonally.
When one line or more is formed, then those squares in the lines will turn
into "smillies." These smillies then disappear and the blocks above fall
down. Checks to see if any more lines are then present continue until no
more lines are present, and no more smillies are formed.
When a number of smillies disappear your score is incremented by the square
of the number of smillies present, so it is better to get long lines than
small lines.
The game ends when a block gets stuck and cannot fall down from the top of
the bucket, ie more or less when the bucket becomes filled up. If you have
scored enough points you will be asked to put your name in the high score
table, which is saved to disc. The adventurous amongst you may have found
out that this is a perfectly editable text file, but remember, if you edit
this, you are only cheating yourself!! In fact, editing of the high score
table may be useful to tidy it up from time to time.
A special square exists in some blocks of three. When these blocks stop
moving, then all the squares in the same row as the special square are
removed. Note that this is very useful in order to remove unwanted blocks,
but you don't actually get any points for doing so (smillies are not formed.)
That's about all the help I can give you at the moment. Try the game out,
and the rules will soon become clear, if they aren't already.
I would like to say thankyou to the following people:
