Games/Powerball/!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.

Arm2/250 users may experience ball judder while
playing PowerBall. To reduce this deselect the
Fast Arm option from the bar icon menu and/or change
to a lower resolution/fewer colours desktop mode.

When selected, the Fast Arm option will enable
power ups to be collected by hitting the special
bricks which appear periodically. The select button
will activate these power ups where appropriate.
