INDEX1
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.

ARTICLES
~~~~~~~~
Introduction to programming (Part Three) - by Pete Bibby. Looked at the
"REM" and "LET" keywords and also discussed string variables.
Be Adventurous with your Electron - by 'Merlin'. The mysterious master of
text adventure games made his first appearance and related the history and
nature of the genre.
Maths Workout - by Mike Bibby. This article, like others which were to
follow, was based on material which first appeared in the Micro User and
explored binary code.
Frieze that Screen - by Alan Plume. Using a short listing as its main
focus, this article described how a repeating pattern could be drawn on
screen using blocks of User Defined Characters. In this case the design
took the form of a dragonfly. A certain amount of space was devoted to an
explanation of how decimal parameters could be converted to space-saving
hexadecimal when using the VDU23 command.
Get your Message Taped - author unknown. A half page quickie which
suggested storing messages on tape, where each string began with a line
number. In effect this created an unexecutable program, but a listing
which could be read as if it were a primative word processor file.
LISTINGS
~~~~~~~~
Pelican - by Alan McLachlan. A simulation of a pedestrian crossing!!!
Limerick - by Owen & Audry Bishop. This program was culled from the book
"Take off with the Electron & BBC Micro" and generated semi-random
nonsense rhymes....... THERE WAS AN ELK OWNER CALLED WILL
WHO'S TALENTS WERE PRACTICALLY NIL
"IT MAKES ME SO SAD"
HE CRIED TO HIS DAD
"MY POETRY MAKES PEOPLE ILL".
Chess Timer - by Andrew Phillips. A move counter and clock for those who
understand the game that uses Prawns, Castles, Horses and the like.
Sounds Exciting - The aural marvels in this issue were:- Payphone, Engaged
tone, Busy tone, Cut-off, Alien swarm, Car alarm, Crazy birds, Pinball.
Asteroids - by Eric H. Crisp. In this game your task was to collect red
and green planetoids and avoid being blown up by mines.
Roman Numerals - by Mike Mahon. Converted Roman numerals to decimal and
vice-versa.
Casting Agency - Yes, it's the section you've all been waiting to hear
about! This time the User Def Chars appeared in the shapes of:- Muncher,
Tank, Monkey and Telephone.
Space Hike - by Martin Hollis. This was basically the game "Frogger" with
flying saucers and rockets instead of motor vehicles and logs.
Dog, Duck, Grain - by Pete Davidson. A different version of the Fox,
Chicken, Corn puzzle that appeared on the Electron Intoductory cassette.
Bunny Blitz - by Mark Smiddy. The point of this game was to dash around
the screen collecting Easter eggs whilst avoiding the rabbits as bumping
into them caused you to lose a life. There was a little-known cheat for
this game called myxomatosis...........

ARTICLES
~~~~~~~~
Introduction to programming (Part Four) - by Pete Bibby. Tackled the
subject of naming and using numeric variables.
Program Probe - by Nigel Peters. Took a peep behind the curtains at
graphics windows.
Graphics - by Mike McManus. Explained how to change the default palette
colours using VDU19.
What's that (when it's at home)? - by Mike Cook. Delved into the
different properties of Random Access and Read Only memory.
Maths Workout - by Mike Bibby. Continued to investigate binary numbers.
LISTINGS
~~~~~~~~
Rally Drive - by Eric H. Crisp. Car, track, time limit. Nuff said.
Mandala - by Nigel Peters. Nothing to do with the new president of South
Africa, but rather, very nice geometric patterns from an 11 line program.
Eddie's Coding Program - by Pete Davidson. Perhaps I should explain that
"Eddie" was Electron User's logo/mascot in those early days and looked
like a cross between a frog and a dustbin. The program encoded and decoded
messages.
Chaser - by Peter Mitchell & James McPherson. A two-player version of the
classic "Light Cycles" game.
Electron Draughtsman - by Mike Cook. A drawing utility with Line,
Triangle, Rectangle and Polygon facilities.
Jumping Sheep - by Michael Rowe. Animated graphics demo featuring.......
sheep...... that jumped........
Sounds Exciting - Gave you the opportunity to feast your ears on:-
Electric alarm clock, Alien monster howling, TV gone wrong, R2D2, Modern
music, Tank moving and Soldiers marching.
Space Pods - by Nicolas Timberlake. I'm fairly certain this game involved
shooting at something!
Tic Tac Toe - by Mark Smiddy. Allowed you to play Naughts and Crosses
against your computer.
Casting Agency - The perky pixel pictures were:- Fred the dragon,
Umbrella, Television, Devil's head, a Quaver, a Crotchet.
Fruit Machine - by J. Rook. Simulation of an ironing board (not really).
Shady Characters - by Peter Grey. Three different programs to generate
random User Defined Characters - very useful if you had need of a
pointless splodge.
Rotate - by Mark Smiddy. Short animation demo using VDU19 palette
changing.
