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.

What is it? How do I play it?
Whack-A-Mole is a little desktop game which tests your reactions, and is also rather fun. You have 15 seconds to whack as many moles as possible by clicking on them. You score 5 points for each mole you whack, but lose 3 points if you click and miss, and lose 2 points if a mole gets away.
