!Demo/!Help
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.

Program: A3010 Rolling Demonstration ('93 update)
By: David Lawrence
For: Acorn Computers Ltd.
Date: July 1992/September 1993
Instructions:
Double click the A3010(93) icon, sit back and watch!
When the demo is pausing, pressing and holding the
Space bar will freeze the demo completely until the
key is released.
Escape and Break are currently completely disabled,
Comment out the three lines in the !Run file to
re-enable them.
All the sprites (in !A3010(93).(Sprites)) have been
squashed using Acorn�s !Squash application. Most
of them were drawn with the aid of Paint, an Iota
ImageScan, Revelation 2, ArtWorks and MillerDraw.
All code by David Lawrence especially the TV
interference bit (my favourite part of the demo!)
