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.

SUNDAY GAME LOADING AND SAVING
By Steven Thompson
ONE of the major drawbacks of the otherwise excellent (crawl, crawl)
game SUNDAY by Dave Edwards is that, possibly in the excitement of
putting it together, he forgot to allow players to save and load their
position. I for one got fed up having to watch scenes I'd completed well
again and again every time I played it. Here is a program I devised to
make life a lot easier - particularly if you want to try and get the
highest possible score.
It works a little like the QSAVE on the EXILE cassettes and disks:
when you want to save your position you press <BREAK> and wait for the
prompt. Unfortunately, it's not quite as professional and you need to
enter a few BASIC commands before you load it. Don't worry though as,
because all the SUNDAY information is held in integer variables A%-Z%,
it's very safely held in memory.
The SUNDAY files are in BASIC and fortunately for us, Dave has put a
REM statement in the first line of them giving its filename (plus the
version number and computer it's intended for). So type in:
>PAGE=&2000 <RETURN>
>OLD <RETURN>
>LIST 10 <RETURN>
You'll get something like, on the BURGER KING scene:
10REM SUNDAY ELK Version "BURGER1"
Make a note of the "filename" (In this case, "BURGER1") as you need to
enter this scene name later when saving your position.
To save your position now, insert the EUG disk [Or a disk to which
you've transferred the utility on it - Ed], *MOUNT it if necessary and
type:
>CH."U.SUNSAVE" <RETURN>
The utility will be loaded and you will be asked to insert either a
readily formatted (although it doesn't matter if it has some files on)
disk and press <SPACE>. You can choose to catalogue it if you want or
you can save the position by typing S.
It's best to save your file in the $ directory and call it something
like "savgam1" or "sun-A". Then you need to enter the filename of the
scene you had reached ("BURGER1" or whatever).
After a few seconds, there will be a beep and the position will be
saved. To start playing again from that position, you then need to load
the utility and put the save game disk in, press L(oad) and type in the
filename. If using DFS, you will also have to specify which drive (0, 1,
2 or 3) contains the scene you want to pick up at with the stored data
(For BURGER1, this is either 2 or 3 depending on whether you've got a
double-disk drive). Then stick in the appropriate original SUNDAY disk
and away you go!
I think that using this utility enhances SUNDAY quite enormously. You
can play scenes to your heart's content and the hackers among you will
have noticed you could even manipulate the variables so as to get
different responses or sequences. [See the SUNDAY'S SECRETS REVEALED
articles in the Articles Menu - Ed] Of course, it's not as good as a
built-in game save position which surely wouldn't be too hard to incor-
porate, would it, Mr Editor? And what about a high score TABLE too,
instead of just holding the one?!
Steven Thompson, Ipswich
THIS is a great way of saving and loading your position and, of course,
thanks for enjoying and emailing about SUNDAY. As a lot of the SUNDAY
scenes are so big as to fill almost all of the memory, I suspect though
that you may have found the only way to do it. As the programmer, I know
any other would require a MAJOR rewrite.
A minor niggle with using Steven Thompson's utility is that, if you
decide to save your position in the middle of a scene, or a scene that
doesn't draw the backdrop when it begins, then you 'travel back in time'
and play the beginning of it again (and get a higher score than you
ought!) or get a blank graphics area with weird effects for a while. I
suggest that it's probably better to hit <BREAK> and use the utility
only when a new scene is beginning.
(The) Dave, EUG #52
