StarInfo/Mellor/!BBC1/!Run

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.

| You can change the filename after -load to customize
| your balloon. You should design two sets of sprites (or
| at least design one but save it under both filenames):
| eg. 'BBCone' and 'BBCone22'
|     'NewBalln' and 'NewBalln22' 
| The '22' file contains the hi-res sprites.
|
| On the line below change the filename after -load
| Enter the filename without the 22 - the correct sprite
| file will be chosen automatically.
