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.

Welcome to Star Fighter 3000, The highest rated gameshow ever on a Fednet
universal satellite channel. The year is 3037, and peak-time TV has acquired
its most successful audience participation show ever.
A result of the intensified battle for advertising revenue and military
hardware between the two rival broadcasting companies, Fednet, and TrashTV,
lucky viewers were selected from thousands of applicants to take part in the
Star Fighter UEP [Ultimate Expansion Programme].
The idea was simple .. Assemble an enourmous military attackforce around
progressively difficult strategic locations (mostly belonging to TrashTV),
invite viewers to take part in the ensuing battle, and broadcast the results.
TrashTV responded quickly, reinforcing its defences and launching a massive
counter attack, 'Commander Ace' on channel 53, but it wasn't as good, and it
had more advert breaks.
The fight is on. Are you up to it ?
Star Fighter 3000 Features : 108 Superb missions
Highly detailed texture mapped landscapes
V.Fast 3D graphics
etc.
