Databay/ReadMe
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.

* * * The DATABAY Xtra * * * I've included the full solution to Exile on this month's Megadisk, so if you're puzzling over the final sections of the game, take Dan Doran's advice and you'll soon be leaving Triax behind. Simon Jones has been coming to grief on level 14 of Magnetoids - he can't seem to defeat the 'four pronged laser-firing thing', as he eloquently described it. After several hair-raising battles, I can now reveal the secret. There are four gun turrets on the ship, and these must be destroyed individually before the mothership can be attacked. Carole Firth has been playing Rockfall recently, and would like to know how to complete level 23 - she needs to find 24 gems but can find only 23. Can anyone help her discover the missing gem, or supply a list of the passwords? If you can, please write in to The Databay at the address given in the help file.
