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.

Multimedia Questionaire


Do you have an internet connection? If not, then do not read on.

Are you involved in the multimedia authoring industry? Do you produce anything that could be called multimedia, such as games? Do you author them on more than one platform? If so, then read on.


At the time of releasing this version of Cavern Duel, I am writing a design report on the problems of cross platform compatability in the multimedia industry for my final year of my degree course. The report is due to be handed in at the end of January 1998. If you are reading this after this date, then check out my Geocities website for the online version of the report. The address is at the end of this textfile.

As part of my research, I have devised an online questionaire at my Geocities website, which I invite you to stop by and fill in. Information will not be passed to anyone else, although they will be republished in the printed version of the report. If you request anonymity then your results will not be published directly, but will be used in my general analysis.

The questionaire is at:

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Pines/2760/form.html

If you wish to contact me by e-mail on any matter connected with the subject, then my address is:

banwackerin@hotmail.com

I look forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, enjoy Cavern Duel!

Yours faithfully,

Stephen Scott
