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.

Writing Letters allows children to draw
around each of the letters of the
alphabet, which will reinforce their
knowledge of the letters and the
order in which they occur.
Each letter is spoken, and an object
starting with that word is shown and
spelled out.
In Complete the Picture, objects must
be placed in position on the screen.
Other options include:
- placing objects onto a picture
- matching shapes with their
silhouettes
- matching words with their
silhouettes, which are coloured in
- matching the first letter of
words with their silhouettes
There are 8 colourful, exciting scenes.
Fill the Gap has options for:
- missing first letter
- missing vowel
- missing last letter
- ch, ck, cl, ch
- oo, oa, ou, oi
- sp, sk, sh
- adjectives
- prepositions
- opposites
This mini Word Processor allows
children to write short stories,
thank-you letters and party invitations.
The full version offers large or small
text, underlining, with a choice of
colourful borders including Smudge,
Weather or Party Ribbons and Bows.
Text may be saved to disk!
