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.

COME BACK AND CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING!
GREETINGS from the far off lands of Norfolk!
Firstly, I would like to say a big congratulations for what you have
done with EUG. I don't think anyone would dare to disagree that there
have been some very noticeable (and positive) changes in the past few
months. It left me feeling slightly guilty though. I always meant to
start submitting again whilst Gus was at the reigns...
Still, enough of that tearful reminiscing. I am sending you copies
of the original thirteen ELK PD disks (passed on to me by Robert Cooper
who ran the only Public Domain library totally dedicated to the Elk).
They include lots of software you might like to include on future issues
- plus some ripped ROM images that are probably still copyright. (Best
check before distributing them!)
I would also be interested to know how you feel about republishing
(good) ELECTRON USER games. There were some very high quality ones but I
doubt there are too many people who would spend hours typing them in
these days even if they actually have the original magazines. This way,
people without the mags could still enjoy them. If you want to, you
should find the ELK PD disks a good source of material. In particular,
JETCAR [Included on this issue - Ed] is a great 72 liner that becomes
very addictive after just one or two goes. I nicked the opening screens
from EUG of course.
Incidentally, I was a bit confused about the copy of ELIMINATOR
published on EUG #51. The copyright message said it was owned by Manic
Software but it had been in the ELK PD library for the last decade
attributed to A Houghton for ELECTRON USER. In my opinion, it was one of
the best type-ins ever but it obviously needs accurate copyright
information. The EUG magazine before also seemed to imply it was a brand
new game, so I'm now slightly perplexed!
One final thing. Why has there never been a list of everything the
Acorn Electron Haven [Also located at EUG HQ - Ed] has for sale on an
EUG disk?
Ross Little
A FEW ex-ELECTRON USER titles (and THE MICRO USER) have appeared on EUG
disks over the years; mostly with minor modifications. Publishing them
"as they were" is definitely worth considering now each EUG issue is
more or less expected to be brimming over with content!
One of the predicaments associated with the better titles from that
magazine gem might be that they may not run on a BBC or under emulation
on a PC. Likewise, many great MICRO USER titles (that sadly don't work
on an Electron!) wait patiently for the day they can be put onto a
future EUG disk without upsetting the 'balance' of the magazine.
Whilst to name may now be to shame, the version of ELIMINATOR sub-
mitted for review by EUG came from Mr Chris Warburton who had "written
it as a schoolboy". In light of your new information, this doesn't seem
likely. Not that it matters as all Database Publications' software is
now Public Domain anyway. However, it does beg the question why he was
at all interested in having EUG review it. Perhaps leave this open to
Chris himself to answer...?
There has been a delay in preparing a full list of Acorn Electron
software and hardware for sale from the Haven part of the User Group as
it seems to alter on a weekly basis as some of it is sold, traded, bun-
dled with Acorn Electron setups for sale at www.ebay.co.uk. Although
many ELECTRON USER magazines were sold after the advertisement in EUG
#50, there has been no real demand for separate Electron titles from EUG
readers until now!
Is guilt weighing down upon anyone else involved in EUG? If so, then
there's only one way to throw it off - contribute!
(The) Dave, EUG #53
