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.

SUNDAY by DAVE EDWARDS. Dave Edwards sent this game in. The good news is that it is fun to play, it's quick and quite easy provided you read the instructions first. The bad news is that it's huge, taking almost 1 Meg of disc space. He sent it in two versions, one for the Master and the other for the Elk. Both are ADFS and both are on two 640k size discs. I think I have managed to convert both versions to run on DFS. I will take a while to fully test them but early results seem encouraging. I haven't managed to get the Elk version onto 300k discs though but this should be possible. I have published the opening screen and the instructions here together with some of the soundtrack which goes with the game. Also a little of the game play itself but not much. Do print out the instructions and read them. This will make the game easier to play. I am going to have to think of what to do with the rest of the game, it is worth seeing even for someone like me who doesn't really like games that much. I have been toying with the idea of putting a part onto successive EUGs but this will take a while. If anyone fancy's a copy in the meantime then write in saying which version you would like, Master, Elk, ADFS, DFS, 5.25" 3.5". But I will have to ask you for the cost of the discs and the postage It is worth having. Select the appropriate version for you machine from the menu.
