V/+CONTS

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.

WHY is EUG becoming a one-man show these days? Last EUG howled how we
received far from as many submissions as were needed, even going so far
as to suggest the group as it is may fold unless a considerable
improvement resulted. The outcome? Five letters to the effect of "well,
what should we review or write ABOUT?", five program disks sent out for
review and those same five readers then not submitting anything!
   Nevertheless the contribution rate has not yet hit absolute zero and
so another 8-bit fist of fun has come into being. But the exasperation
of yours truly guarantees that it cannot continue this way indefinitely.

Contents
~~~~~~~~
"What? No News column?! But that's my favourite bit, Mr Editor!" No, 
unfortunately NEWS AND THE INTERNET was dropped from this issue due to
lack of disk space and that the recent main developments in the world of
Acorn Electron/BBC emulation are covered by the letters in the Mailbag.

Articles
~~~~~~~~
The BRAINTEASERS articles go on (and on!) and we ask WILL IT CHANGE YOUR
LIFE?

Games
~~~~~
PAC Y2K (All series)
James Watson presents a brand new Mode 2 (Master) / Mode 5 (BBC/Elk)
SNAPPER clone with chasing ghosties and power pills galore!

TUG OF WAR (All series)
An updated version of a PCW favourite. Play a friend OR THE COMPUTER in
a game where a fast reaction will heave them toward a gap in the cliffs!

X*L*C*R (BBC series only. Not compatible with Electron)
Readers will remember that Micheal Grant, author of this machine code 
jewel, spent much time trying to covert it for the Elk but failed. We
present the last version: Mode 1 screens replace those originally in
Mode 7 and sound is diluted to one channel. But although the game still
works on the BBC, the Electron refuses to respond to the playing keys.
(Perhaps a talented reader could find out why...) 

Demos
~~~~~
HANDEL (All series)
The machine makes sweet music in this enjoyable and tricky little piano
piece. See documentation.

RUSSIAN ROULETTE (All series)
Not really a game as its result is the luck of the draw. Sweat endlessly
and say your prayers as you spin the barrel then pull the trigger!

Utilities
~~~~~~~~~
2M/8M RAM DISK BOARD WITH 24 bBC MANUAL
How to buy, build and operate it: Robert Sprowson's new firmware addon.

WORKS OF ART SLIDESHOW (All series)
Compressed art comes to your monitor screen in this slideshow pruned 
from ELK PD. Also includes a compressed screen save utility.

Reviews
~~~~~~~
John Crane inspects the BRAINTEASERS while the Dave sets his typing fin-
gers on FLINT STRIKES BACK and 8BS' collections of 'clipart'. We also
present a review on the Electron itself swiped from RETROGAMES.

Adventures (All series)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CASTLE OF SKULL LORD Solution
Read the comments and finally play through the unbugged COSL adventure 
which was incorporated into EUG #55. You will be astonished by the
solutions to some of its problems...

COLDITZ ADVENTURE (All series. Requires PAGE at &E00)
The Dave converts the early Mode 7 Superior game to the Electron. A very
easy adventure for the beginner. Works on the BBC too.

ESCAPE FROM PULSAR SEVEN Solution
You will. Jacob Gunness has solved this Adventure International game.

MAD ISLAND Adventure (All series)
EUG spoils you with a brand spanking new adventure. Nothing on this
island makes sense... including your likely death from any number of
weird events. If you solve it, please submit the solution.

THE STOLEN LAMP Solution
EUG corrects the ELECTRON USER solution that left you stranded in the
Vizier's palace.

WOODBURY END Adventure (All series)
The very best SHARDS adventure (and indeed, BBC/Electron adventure) ever
created is finally here on disk. You wake trussed up in your house, the
village awash with aliens disguised as villagers. The children are also
possessed by evil forces. Work out who you can trust in this rare REAL
TIME graphic adventure. A solution will follow next issue too!

Advertisements/Mailbag (All series)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
A bumper bundle of mail (because we're bi-monthly now?) accusses EUG of
immaturity and using sex to sell! Thomas Harte has trouble finalising
his Electron emulator, Kevin Etheridge discovers how to get WHOOPSY on
ADFS disk and John Crane comes up trumps with advice on Sideways RAM.
