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.

File contents
800k Risc OS 2/3 Last month we published Krazy Kev, the game itself when decompressed occupied 820k rather more than a standard 800k disk. To get round this problem create a Ram Disk and copy everything except the files called Title & welldone. You will find the Title file in a directory named CompGrfx. The welldone file is located in a directory called Sounds. This will now allow you to copy the game onto a 800k disk without any problems. Editing: You must now edit the !Run file, load the !Run file into !Edit delete line that loads Title. Then resave the !Run file. Load the LOADRMS File into edit and remove last line which loads welldone. Then resave it. Load !RunImage into !Edit, use find to search for welldone, replace with Gameover.... Re-save !RunImage.... Score Error: Owing to an error in the score table, we have amended the code file so the game will not crash after 100,000 points. Simply hold down the Shift Key on the keyboard, then press the left mouse button twice whilst over the !Kev icon. You will then see a filer window containing the old code file, delete this file and copy over the new code file into filer window. Refer to your user guide if you have problems.
