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.

Star Info Winter Challenge entry
By Hayley Briscoe
This program simulates a cold evening in winter. You sit in the small, dark living room in your comfy green armchair listening to the clock ticking and watching the flickering fire. It casts eerie, black shadows around the room, and lights up the corners. You huddle further into your chair for warmth. Snowflakes continue to fall, and cling to the glass on the window. Your cat Sooty seems to have the right idea and lies on the rug close to the roaring fire.Time passes slowly. The clock chimes the hour - only six o'clock...
Press Escape to exit the program when you feel too cold.
