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.

Red Tanks, Green Hills And Water.
�Copyright 1996 David Glover.
Version 1.20
This game may be freely distributed as long as it is not changed in any way, and nothing is charged for it except the medium which it is stored on.
This game requires monitor capable of displaying mode 27.
How to play
===========
Double click on !RTGHAW to run, press a key, enter the number of players, type in their names, and wait for the game to start.
To play, use the mouse to aim the pointy stick thing. This is the direction that the bullet will go when it is fired. The longer the pointy stick thing, the faster the speed of the bullet. Click select to fire. Aim for the other tanks.
Who's go it is and their current energy level is displayed at the top of the screen. Before you fire, you can press SPACE to boost the strength (and the range of the explosion) of your bullet. This will reduce your energy level. You can also teleport, and this will reduce your energy by 15%. You cannot teleport close to other tanks.
When you die, (ie. your energy is reduced below 0%) you will explode. Any tanks near you will be damaged. If you fall, due to being shot or teleporting, you will lose energy depending on how far you fall.

History
=======
v0.00 (14/08/96) Beta version, only released to a few people on #argonet.
Had a few silly bugs. (eg. Increase strength of shot by a
negative amount.)
v1.00 (15/08/96) First released version. All bugs that I knew about fixed.
v1.10 (16/08/96) Added named players and random play order.
v1.11 (16/08/96) Fixed a bug in the name printing routine.
v1.12 (17/08/96) Fixed a bug in the teleport code.
v1.20 (19/08/96) Lots of new features! Named players now an option,
simultaneous tank falling, hitting the water now
reduces energy by 10%. 00000000 52 54 47 48 41 57 0a 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 0a 52 65 |RTGHAW.======.Re| 00000010 64 20 54 61 6e 6b 73 2c 20 47 72 65 65 6e 20 48 |d Tanks, Green H| 00000020 69 6c 6c 73 20 41 6e 64 20 57 61 74 65 72 2e 0a |ills And Water..| 00000030 a9 43 6f 70 79 72 69 67 68 74 20 31 39 39 36 20 |.Copyright 1996 | 00000040 44 61 76 69 64 20 47 6c 6f 76 65 72 2e 0a 56 65 |David Glover..Ve| 00000050 72 73 69 6f 6e 20 31 2e 32 30 0a 0a 54 68 69 73 |rsion 1.20..This| 00000060 20 67 61 6d 65 20 6d 61 79 20 62 65 20 66 72 65 | game may be fre| 00000070 65 6c 79 20 64 69 73 74 72 69 62 75 74 65 64 20 |ely distributed | 00000080 61 73 20 6c 6f 6e 67 20 61 73 20 69 74 20 69 73 |as long as it is| 00000090 20 6e 6f 74 20 63 68 61 6e 67 65 64 20 69 6e 20 | not changed in | 000000a0 61 6e 79 20 77 61 79 2c 20 61 6e 64 20 6e 6f 74 |any way, and not| 000000b0 68 69 6e 67 20 69 73 20 63 68 61 72 67 65 64 20 |hing is charged | 000000c0 66 6f 72 20 69 74 20 65 78 63 65 70 74 20 74 68 |for it except th| 000000d0 65 20 6d 65 64 69 75 6d 20 77 68 69 63 68 20 69 |e medium which i| 000000e0 74 20 69 73 20 73 74 6f 72 65 64 20 6f 6e 2e 0a |t is stored on..| 000000f0 0a 54 68 69 73 20 67 61 6d 65 20 72 65 71 75 69 |.This game requi| 00000100 72 65 73 20 6d 6f 6e 69 74 6f 72 20 63 61 70 61 |res monitor capa| 00000110 62 6c 65 20 6f 66 20 64 69 73 70 6c 61 79 69 6e |ble of displayin| 00000120 67 20 6d 6f 64 65 20 32 37 2e 0a 0a 48 6f 77 20 |g mode 27...How | 00000130 74 6f 20 70 6c 61 79 0a 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d |to play.========| 00000140 3d 3d 3d 0a 0a 44 6f 75 62 6c 65 20 63 6c 69 63 |===..Double clic| 00000150 6b 20 6f 6e 20 21 52 54 47 48 41 57 20 74 6f 20 |k on !RTGHAW to | 00000160 72 75 6e 2c 20 70 72 65 73 73 20 61 20 6b 65 79 |run, press a key| 00000170 2c 20 65 6e 74 65 72 20 74 68 65 20 6e 75 6d 62 |, enter the numb| 00000180 65 72 20 6f 66 20 70 6c 61 79 65 72 73 2c 20 74 |er of players, t| 00000190 79 70 65 20 69 6e 20 74 68 65 69 72 20 6e 61 6d |ype in their nam| 000001a0 65 73 2c 20 61 6e 64 20 77 61 69 74 20 66 6f 72 |es, and wait for| 000001b0 20 74 68 65 20 67 61 6d 65 20 74 6f 20 73 74 61 | the game to sta| 000001c0 72 74 2e 0a 0a 54 6f 20 70 6c 61 79 2c 20 75 73 |rt...To play, us| 000001d0 65 20 74 68 65 20 6d 6f 75 73 65 20 74 6f 20 61 |e the mouse to a| 000001e0 69 6d 20 74 68 65 20 70 6f 69 6e 74 79 20 73 74 |im the pointy st| 000001f0 69 63 6b 20 74 68 69 6e 67 2e 20 54 68 69 73 20 |ick thing.
