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.

!ReadMe File For !Rescuer
=========================
Scenario
========
A surprise alien attack on the planet Alpha-20 has destroyed several passanger cruisers that were orbiting at the time. Fortunately the custom designed escape podule system, recently installed in the ships due to Government non-legislation, saved all the "customers" and distributed them across the planet`s surface.
Due to military cutbacks and lack of investment you are the only remaining member of the highly elite R.S.F. and must single handedly save all the podules from the increasingly alien infested zones of the planet. You must also destroy all alien craft in order to qualify for your performance related bonus - if you take too long over this task alien reinforcements will arrive.
Met Office Weather Report:
Severe electrical storm warning over Planet Alpha-20.
Your Craft
==========
Equipped with EC Laser Weapon - B on status area indicates 'ready to fire'.
Latest intertia drive propulsion unit.
The Opposition
==============
Estimated 10 invader craft per zone - reinforcements may arrive.
(Blue on scanner)
Seeker - homes in on your craft. (Red on scanner, H indicator of status area)
Captured SVM (Surface-to-Vacuum Missile) Launcher
Initially limited in range, these also home in on your craft.
(Yellow on scanner, S indicator of status area)
Cunningly Camoflaged UFO
Appearance unknown, radar invisible, which intelligence reports suggest may contain multiple homing beams.
The Weather
===========
Electrical storm - may interfere with (life) systems in your craft.
(Green on scanner)
Escape Podules
==============
Estimated to be 9 in each zone - Bright yellow things on the ground. Not shown on scanner (below radar floor). You must pick them all up & deposit them in the secure underground bunker.
