PROGS/GamTxt1
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.

Dear Gus,
I have included a few programmes for inclusion into EUG if you wish to use
them, they are:
a) SCREEN This programme provides 3D and'large' lettering for an
introduction screen.
b) CODER This programme codes and decodes messages generally used in
adventure hint sheets. These are normally coded by moving one
character forward in the alphabet. this produces a file that can be
read by VIEW, hence allowing coded and decoded hints to be written
'directly' into a word processor. Primarily of use for those compiling
hint sheets for text adventures (or any other games for that matter).
c) SOUND This programme was written using the sound definitions
provided in the Electron User and allows the user to hear
various sounds and obtain thedefinition of the sound from
the listing of the programme.
d) VIEW-MENU This provides a menu with a scrolling highlighted pointer
this was adapted from a menu presented in Electron User.
The following provides the various foreground and
background colours available on the Electron, the Blue
background is used in VIEW-MENU as I personally find this
easier on the eyes whilst writing in VIEW.
Hold CTRL key down and press the following keys (0 is the
zero key)
Foreground
GREEN SAB000
YELLOW SAC000
CYAN SAF000
WHITE SAG000
RED SAA000
BLUE SAD000
VIOLET SAE000
BLACK SAP000
Flashing colours are available by using I, J, K, L, M, N, O as the
last letter of the three.
