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.

This demonstration is just a snippet of the first level of Quark, which will
end quite abruptly, as you enter the city zone. If you want to play on, then you are going to have to buy the full version.

Full version of Quark has :

    Many more challenging levels    More enemies, and end of level nasties
    Even more impressive scenery    A stereo Symphony for every level
    More superpower soundeffects    6 War Ships, of varying ability

                    Quark was described by Acorn User as 
           "The best shoot'em up this side of the 32-bit barrier"
