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.

CAVES OF DOOM:
(C) Archimedes World 1992
To play either of the game files on the disc double click the file
icon, which is marked !Run Me First and then choose the icon marked
either BrickMaze or Tropical.
The editor is fully multi tasking and very easy to use.Editing
the sprites used in the game is done using !Paint, to do this
firstly save the tiles you want to edit from the save tiles
dialogue box (this saves all 28 tiles as a sprite file), edit
them in !Paint, then once you are finished save the edited
spritefile to disc and from disc drag it onto the CaveEdit
iconbar icon to load them into a cave file.Editing of all five
cave files can be done in the Screen editor window using the
mouse pointer.Only levels you know the passwords for can be
edited, so here are the passwords for both files :
Passwords for file `Tropical`
Level 1 - CONTROL (you must type it in with caps lock ON)
Level 2 - INSTANT
Level 3 - BRIGADE
Level 4 - PENSION
Level 5 - NEGLECT
Passwords for file `BrickMaze`
Level 1 - CATALOY
Level 2 - DISCMAN
Level 3 - AMPLIFY
Level 4 - MONITOR
Level 5 - PRIMARY
SKIP LEVELS:
You can skip levels in the game program by pressing `P` at the
startup screen and typing in the password for the level you want
to start at.
The playing keys are as follows :
Move man up - `'`
Move man down - `/`
Move man left - `Z`
Move man right - `X`
Kill your man - `Tab` (use this when your man gets trapped i.e.
under rocks)
To return to the desktop press `RETURN` from the startup screen.
Press space from the startup screen to play from level 1.
GAMEPLAY:
The game play goes like this, your character (the round yellow
guy in the middle of the screen with the big teeth) goes around
each level in turn eating all the balloons or pineapples.
On his travels though he must avoid being killed by poison and falling
rocks, also he must collect all the pineapples in the level before he can go to the next one.
EDITOR:
The editor is fairly easy to use and conforms to all of the
risc-os standards.It makes use of the colourtrans module in the
system resources directory, and you can change the palette used
in a game by dragging a palette file onto the cave editor window.
Most other things about the editor are self explanatorily.
