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.

Fighter Spacecraft : These flash between their identification code, and
------------------ their current direction.
The 1st letter of the ID Code indicates > [E] - Enemy, or
[F] - Friendly
The 2nd letter indicates current status > [A] - Attacking
[P] - Patrolling Flightpath
[F] - Flying in formation
The directions are : GREEN for friendly ships,
RED for enemy ships,
WHITE for the players ship. (Has no ID Code)
Large Spacecraft : These flash a large 'S' symbol, and their current
---------------- direction.
Ground Targets : Indicated by a small flashing 'x'
--------------
Airborne Targets : Aircraft with a special mission significance show their
---------------- status instead of a direction.
A Cross indicates that the ship has to be destroyed
(or destroyed prior to it reaching its destination.)
A Heart indicates that the ship must survive (or
be safely escorted to its destination)

A VERY BRIEF GUIDE TO TACTICS :
-------------------------------
1. Getting the formation.
At the start of the mission, 3 friendly craft are patrolling the
area over the port (N/W) At very high altitude in crocodile formation.
A close flyby the leader will signal a request to join the attackforce,
and the formation will join. It is good defensive practice to allow the
formation to settle before moving into dangerous areas.
2. When in difficulty - send in the troops.
Pressing 'A' will send your formation (Providing you have one) in to
battle with the nearest airborne targets. They attack on a one to one
basis (ie. 2 enemy craft nearby, 2 will break formation), the rest
stay with you as defence. Pressing 'A' again, will send in more.
3. Knowing when to retreat -
If things get too rough, 'R' will regroup your formation. However,
be careful not to force your wingmen into retreat if it puts them in
a vunerable position as they leave the battle scene. If fired upon, they
will return.
4. If the attack is a success -
When an enemy target is destroyed, friendly craft will either select new
targets, or rejoin a defensive formation.
