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.

Demo written by Adam Toon and Andrew McLean both of who are in High Risc!
*****************************************************************************
Facts about the demo...
It takes roughly 600k (200k off a whole disc)
It runs in MODE 15
And uses Hugo Fieness Stracker Program (Is that spelled right?)
Hugo, any chance of a working demo of your stracker producer thingy?
If so send it to address given below!!!!
39 cups of tea were consumed by Adam during the production of the demo.
2 sugars per cup so thats ..... 39 * 2 = 78 sugars....Yuk!!
Don't I talk about some riveting subjects?
Another version of this !README may be released by Andrew McLean and he talksabout what parts of the demo were written where and when..Quite interesting..
I myself though find this boring and prefer to tell jokes...
3 MYSTERIES OF THE WORLD...
Why are the windows in Concorde toilets frosted?? NO ONE IS GOING TO SEE YOU!
Why is it that know one has never heard of the guests on the south bank show?
Why are these files always called '!README'??
Whats green and turns red at a flick of a switch? A frog in a liquidiser!
How do you get 1000 Iraq soldiers into a telephone box?? Tell them it's Kuwait!!
*****************************************************************************
A FEW HELLO'S
Hi Lorraine will you stop ignoring me!
Steve don't do that with your hair again!
