Instruct/COVER

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.

Dear Gus,
	I enclose a disc containing two submissions for publication in the
EUG magazine. The first is a title screen for the magazine, and consists
of two files: "Title" and "TitData". "Title" is a BASIC program which
should be RUN to start the screen. "TitData" is a graphics file which
cannot be copied as a BASIC program, so be careful that it remains intact
when you copy it.
	The second submission is the arcade adventure which I mentioned in
my previous letter to you. The game is called "Ship Wrecked", and consists
of 80 screens of MODE 2 graphics. It consists of 4 files, the filenames of
which all start with the word "Ship". To start the game, use CHAIN"Ship".
Files Ship2 and Ship3 are machine code files, which may not be copied
using LOAD and SAVE, as if they were BASIC programs.
	On the disc there is also a BASIC program called "Cheat" which is a
cheat for Ship Wrecked. I suggest that you have two options on the Games
menu of EUG: one for "Ship Wrecked without cheat", which performs
CHAIN"Ship", and one for "Ship Wrecked with cheat", which performs
CHAIN"Cheat".

				Yours faithfully,
