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.

File contents
This is a game which I believe came from BBC PD a few years ago. I doesn't
have any copy right messages so it is difficult to tell.

I am not very good at making up senarios so the description for this game
may sound a little bland. In playing it is a lot more fun.

Anyway you have to move a character around the screen using the :/zx keys.
A bomb has to be defused and this is done by sorrounding it with four
round stones. Then there are a number of round white objects which have a
sort of nuclear symbol inside them. These need to be pushed into a white
square shape. You alse need to destroy all the 'soil', consume the stars
and then you go onto the next screen.

There is also an EDITOR so that you can design your own screens. 

This is what I did, mine is called EUG1. Each screen file has four screens
but for some reason it doesn't seem to be possable to immediatly load a
new file when the fourth screen is competed.

The gane is loaded by chaining the file WADGE. You are asked if you want
the game or the editor. Press G and you will be asked for a file type in
EUG1

The first screen is fairly simple and designed to show what you may find
in the game. Oh and I forgot to say there are two timeers counting down,
one is for the bomb and will stop when the bomb is defused, the other is
for the rest of the game. Consuming the diamond shapes boosts the time on
this second clock.

The editor will present a blank screen. You can load a file to contimue
working on it by pressing L and save a file by pressing S.

The RETURN key will fix a shape in a position and the SPACE bar will
remove it.

The keys A, B, C and D will swap between each of the four screen on the
file, they don't all need to be finished to tryout your file.

Finally the < and > keys will scrol through the various shapes available.
There is one shape which looks like a white monster. I haven't used this
one because I cannot figure out how to destroy it and without destroying
it you can't go into the next screen. You might work this out.

The game is fum and can be interesting. If you design a file sent it in
and we can all try it out.

If you want to move the game to another disc the files are called:
