!DarcWorld/Files/LateNews

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.

CJE Micro's are now distributing the Gamesware/Skillsware range for Acorn
RISC computers, as well as the Eclipse range

CJE Micro's, the well-known Acorn Centre of Technology, has recently become
the main distributor for the Gamesware/Skillsware range of titles, and very
quickly launched the Simon the Sorceror CD-ROM in a new StrongARM
compatible version. In recent years, Skillsware have spent more time
developing software for a few major clients instead of publishing themselves
- hence it seems to make common sense for the an established Acorn company to
take over distribution should Skillsware be looking to lose that �direct
mail� aspect of their business.

Additionally, Eclipse titles are now also available through CJE Micro's;
reflecting the fact that Argo Interactive are now focusing more on projects
which can be connected to the web in some way.

The games titles, and new/updated prices, are:

   Eclipse Software
      Dune II Disc Version            �30
      Dune II CD-ROM Version (S/A OK) �35
      Global Effect                   �30
      Eclipse Collection              �25
      Darkwood                        �23
      James Pond 2+                   �18

   Gamesware / Skillsware titles
      Simon the Sorceror CD (S/A OK)  �36
      Simon the Sorceror disc version �30
      Playdays                        �25
      James Pond Running Water        �30
      Aries                           �25
      Wavelength                      �15

Unless specified, titles are NOT StrongARM (S/A) compatible, although I
suspect that the situation may change in the future.

For further details on any of these games, contact CJE Micro's:
