PandaGame/ReadFirst

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.

!Panda Exploration game
Version 1.2 January 1994

Expand this archive onto another floppy or hard disc
to play.

The software initially needs to save function key
settings and, more usefully, you may wish to 
periodically save your game position.

!PANDA is an amusing adventure game which, while you find you way 
to the Chair Bear of Panda Discs, pokes gentle fun at 'Conker 
Computers' and one or two other familiar names.
The game is easier than most, because I can't stand getting no further than 
the first room. Exploring your way to Micro World, you'll find a 
few familiar computing names from the Acorn world, as well as 
discover the new PC clone operating system US-DROS. Type HELP if you're 
stuck.

Have fun and hopefully a laugh or two.
