Games Arcade

This area of the CD is devoted to games, both original Acorn games, and emulators to play games from other platforms/consoles. Click here to view the Emulators page.

There are too many games to list on this page, but some of the best include;

In ARCADE/GRAFIX:

A super screensaver for Acorn machines.

In $/DESTINY:

Eternal Destiny demo (Robert Templeman, freeware, 4mb zip file)
The latest demo version (which fixes many bugs in previous versions) of the long awaited 3d walkabout game from Rob Templeman, which is now available. The demo is also available to run direct from the CD (this can be found on the root directory as !Dest, because its directory structure is too deep!). You will not be able to save any configuration options present if you run the demo direct from CD. If you wish to do otherwise, then copy the zip file to your hard disc instead.

In ARCADE/ARCGAMES:

ArcQuake Demo (Peter Teichmann, freeware, 478k zip)
For SA owners only, a port of the Quake engine, to give you an idea of how the official port of Quake will appear.
Jaw Wars 0.9841beta (me!, freeware, 128k zip file)
The demo version of my latest game. I've worked on it on and off for the past year, and hope to get it finished in time for Christmas 1998.
Marsquake: Boom Deluxe 1.12 (Paul Taylor, shareware, 614k archive)
The sequel to Moonquake now features multiplayer options across a network, enhancing the gameplay and enjoyment factor to a high level. Unmissable.
