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.

GAMES PROGRAMS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By John McHugh (notes by Richard Dimond) PUZZLE ~~~~~~ John said this was inspired by his other programs Rubik and Mastermind and is programed in a similar way. The screen is divided into two sections. The top shows a grid of coloured characters and the bottom shows all white characters as the colours in the top grid are all in the wrong position. The cross in the the top part is moveable with the keys Z, X, * & ? and, when SPACE is pressed, the colours around the cross are rotated. If any are then in the correct position the corresponding character in the bottom grid will turn blue. The game is to move the colours until all the characters in the lower part have turned blue and all colours are then in the correct place. You will find that you are often left with four colours that do not fit and have to make many swaps before completing the game. ************************************************************************** MASTERMIND ~~~~~~~~~~ This is a conversion to MODE 2 of the MODE 7 version, which John had published in Acornuser, January 1992, so that it will now work on the Electron. It is the well known game where you have to guess the four colours which the computer selects at random. Intructions for playing the game are included in the introduction to the game. **************************************************************************
