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.

Tiles: A colour matching game
By Steve Gutteridge

This simple yet addictive game involves placing square tiles on a board. The object is to match the colours on sides of adjacent tiles. When the colours on three or four sides of a tile are matched, the tile is removed. One point is scored for each tile removed. The game ends when the board is full and no more tiles can be placed.

The game runs entirely in the desktop, and boards can be saved and loaded mid-game. It supports interactive help using Acorn's Help application.
