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.

OneARMed (Bandit) =---------------= Ok, it's a silly little game. The scorings a little off but I think it's quite fun none the less. Every time you move your mouse in a sort of 'pulling-the-handle' type fashion from the top to the bottom of the screen, it starts off a new roll, and charges you 10 credits. If you get two in a row (from the left) then you win 35 credits. If you get a full line then you win twice that. You can speed up the process by clicking on the iconbar and it will do a roll. You can reset the credits using the menu. Why? =--= Well, you can just keep it running all the time while you do what you do with your desktop, and the natural action of your mouse should keep the game going. I think it's quite fun.
