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.

PATIENCE REVAMPED
I HAVE now rewritten my three patience games in a brand new format with
smaller cards. The designs are perhaps not perfect but are the best I
could do for the present - any comments or suggestions are welcome!! The
number cards for SCORPION are slightly different as I could not use the
graphics cursor for printing the cards.
The menu sets up the characters and includes the instructions for the
games which can be skipped if you do not need them.
The undo facility I had on the BELEAGURED CASTLE program is not in
the program as I had some problems with it. I am hoping to add this and
possibly other options later. I am also hoping to add other games too.

PARTICULARLY apt when products are upgraded is the maxim that "Software
is never finished". Fortunately, it's counter-balanced when the new ver-
sions improve substantially on the old. That is the case here and these
new versions of Richard's popular patience games, and particularly Black
Hole, play much more elegantly now.
