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.

Objective.
----------
It has been known for centuries that the mythical box contains an evil
being. It was sent to test human curiosity, to see who opened the box and
let loose the creature. No prizes for guessing who opened the box. For those
who are less than intelligent or just mentally unstable (a) They shouldn't beusing such a computer and (b) the person was YOU!
This beast searched for you, its creator, and banished you to its lair. Itslair contains 150 separate dungeons which it inhabits. You must avoid this creature and exit through the door after collecting the key. There are many other objects, such as bombs and discs, but it is up to you to discover what they do. Watch out for the special pink sphere, it can do many things! (Mega-Hint)
