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.

File contents
Hello Mr Pirate. Welcome to Joust. I hope you enjoy your exploration of my little program. I would like to hear from you and to perhaps meet socially if you do crack the protection. I am a dedicated pirate myself and I have included most of the protection techniques I have come across in games I have ripped off, plus a couple I thought of myself. In case you mis-understand me, this is not some trick from GOSH to catch pirates, it is a genuine invitation from a bone-fide member of GASP (Guild of Anonymous Software Pirates) to anyone out there who thinks him(her)self (I should be so lucky) worthy of the name Software Pirate. My name and address: Delos D. Harriman, 290 Clarence Road, Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B74 4LT. Tel 021-353 8069. Good luck. Even if you don't finish it, you could write to me to tell me how far you got, you never know, you might be the only one to even get that far. Or, on the other hand, there might be some fatal loophole in my protection scheme and everyone might do it. Either way I'd like to hear from you. Prepare to Joust, Buzzard bait!
