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 game will work on Archimedes computers.
A version which will run on a RiscPC (but not on an Archimedes) is also
available.

Said about this version:
Aargh is aptly named. ... A clever, complicated and infuriatingly addictive
way to spend several hours.
(Acorn Computing)
The title of this game is unusually apt. After playing it for half an hour
you will find yourself screaming Aargh! in frustration at this incredibly
addictive game. ... It looks naff but plays superbly.
(Archimedes World)
This game has five levels.
(Five levels of imaginative full-screen arcade action)
The object is to guide a little blob along passages and through rooms without
touching ANYTHING. Any contact will make your blob explode (dramatically).
Fortunately however, you have somehow come across an infinite supply of
the things.
The catch is that you have to start the screen again.
Your blob is indicated at the start of each level by a ' You Are Here ' sign
