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.

I think the name of this game says it all. This is the multitasking version of the popular spelling game. If you do not know how to play hang man then here are the simple instructions. Click SELECT on the HangMan icon on the iconbar. This opens the hangman window (Surprise Surprise). The word you are guessing is displayed as a number of --- marks under the letters. Each - stands for 1 letter. You have to guess the word by selecting letters from the display by clicking on them. If the letter is present in the word then the relevent - will be replaced by that letter, or if the letter isn't present then the gallows will be built and our hero will be hung. Try to prevent him being hung. Clicking on the [New word] icon replaces the word you are guessing with another one. Clicking on the [Show word] icon displays the word being guessed. Clicking on the [Reset game] icon will reset the status, ie the games played, won and lost. Clicking on [Sound] will turn the sound off/on. The words are stored in the !HangMan directory in the file Data. If you edit this file make sure yo press Return after every word you enter.
