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.

Exile Mapper
If you are still completely stuck in Exile, despite John McHugh's
solution, then you might like to use this program to look through all the
parts of the game that you never reached. I found it useful just to read
through his solution in conjunction with the map before playing it through
properly.
This program is based on an Exile mapper written by James Bonfield,
and published by the Micro User in December 1990. The original version was
written for the BBC disc version of Exile, and I have converted it to work
on the Electron tape version.
Run the mapper program, insert your Exile tape, forward to the file
"Game??" (the first long file on the tape) and press play. When it has
loaded, you can scroll around the map using the usual Z,X,* and ? keys.
The scrolling is jerky and rather slow, but this is to be expected since
it uses the routine in the Supervisor program, which was designed for
displaying your position from the main menu, rather than for scrolling.
This also means that the map is different from the real map in a few
places. For example, the main water line is not included, and many of the
bushes look different from the corresponding ones in the game. Also notice
that the Destinator is displayed in your ship, as it is for the first
second of gameplay, instead of in its usual position.
It is possible to see from the map, which things are collectable or
destructible, and which are part of the walls or scenery. The moveable
items are displayed a fraction of a second after the rest of the screen in
this program, and this is particularly noticeable at the top of the
screen. So if you scroll an object to the top of the screen and then
scroll alternately left and right, you should be able to detect this
difference.
N.B. I have also written cheats for four other games (Pandemonium,
Network, Hyperball and Chuckie Egg), and have submitted them for inclusion
on this disc. These are all written for Electron tape compilation
versions, though they may work on originals as well, where these exist.
Details of the cheats are given when the programs are run (by CHAINing
them).
