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.

Counter-Act
*=========*
(C) Archimedes World 1993
To Load:
--------
Double click the !CountrAct icon and the game will load.
The Options Screen:
-------------------
First of all you will be presented with the options screen. This is divided
into 3 sets of options, titled: Opponent, Sound, Please Select.
In the case of Opponent and Sound the options can be toggled simply by
clicking within the option box. There is a green bar that moves to indicate
which option is selected.
The options contained in the Please Select box are executed immediately they are clicked on.
What do the options do?
The Sound option is self explanatory, click to turn the sound on or off.
The Opponent option toggles between Computer or Human opponent.
There are three choices in the Please Select box and each has a title in it's
left hand corner, Play, Edit, Quit.
Play: begins a game with the current option settings.
Edit: allows the board to be edited.
Quit: returns to desktop.
The options screen can be returned to at any time by pressing Escape.
Rules of Play:
--------------
The object of Counter-Act is to have the most counters of your colour on the board when the game ends.
Each player begins with 2 counters, diagonaly opposite each other.
The playing screen contains the following:
Number of red/green counters on board - top left/right
Number of moves made by red/green - bottom left/right
Board + counters - centre
Concede option - bottom centre
Indicator to show which player the
Computer is (Computer play mode only) - top left/right
Counters can be moved in 2 different ways:
1. If a counter is moved by 1 square in any direction then 1 counter is left
behind, thus increasing the number of counters by 1.
2. If a counter is moved by 2 squares in any direction then no counter is
left behind and the number of counters remains the same.
Winning counters is very simple.
eg.
If you move a counter to a new square then any neibouring (horizontally,
vertically or diagonaly) counters belonging to your opponent become yours.
There are a number of ways in which the game can end.
The game will end when...
1. one player has no counters left. The winner being their opponent.
2. the board is full and no more moves can be made. The winner being the one
with the most counters.
3. one player is trapped and cannot move even though the board is not full.
In this case the trapped player must concede and their opponent wins.
(When the computer is trapped it concedes automaticaly)
4. conceding. The opponent of the player that conseeds is the winner.
(When the computer is trapped it concedes automaticaly)
Control with the mouse is very easy. To select the counter to be moved simply
click on the counter, and then click on the destination square and the
counter will move if it is legal.
The Computer Player:
--------------------
After selecting the Computer Player and clicking on play you are presented
with two options, Easy or Hard. These options regulate the Computers level
of difficulty.
The Computer Player always has second turn and therefore you have the first.
Who plays with which colour counters is decided randomly, and which colour
the computer has is indicated in one of the top corners respectivly.
Editing:
--------
Using this option allows you to edit the board that you play on. When a
normal square is clicked on it is flooded and cannot be used in play.
To recover a square simply click on it again and it will change back,
or if you want to start again click on the CL icon in the top-right corner
to clear the board.
When you are happy with the edited board click on the OK icon in the
top-left corner of the screen.
Quit:
-----
When you have had enough click on the Quit option and you will be returned
to the desktop.
