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.

Rocky Trade: Games Designer (Part 4)
By Antony Bruce Lytis

Rocky Trade is a complete game created with the Acorn User Games Designer. Run this application to load the game: note that it does take some time to load as all the game files must be read.

The object of the game is to fly over the scrolling landscape and survive while destroying as many enemy craft as possible. Your fuel is shown as a bar along the bottom; to replenish your supply, destroy the fuel pods. The controls for the game are as follows:
��A        Up
��Z        Down
��RETURN   Fire
��TAB      Bomb
��SHIFT    Thrust
��SPACE    Brake

For details on how this game was created, see page 98 in the magazine.
