| | Yes, I've been using the BBC Archive to cross reference several of the games I've been listing, just to check my facts. I like that you can play the games on there, using their on-line emulator. That's been an occasional distraction, when I was supposed to be "researching"! I already have the likes of BeebEm, which is great, but an online "instant play" option is really handy. As for my BBC software collection, well it's been sat in the loft for nearly 30 years. I've listed everything that I have that you haven't already put up, so the well is dry. I'm moving on to my PC and console stuff now. Not quite the same nostalgia value, but some like Heretic and Doom are well worth revisiting. |

| | Yep, it's the first time I'd ever heard about it, been delving into Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Wolfenstein etc. Those games were way ahead of their time, I think i'm going to be busy for a while running through them. Out of interest did you know about the BBC Archive here. I've been having some fun with that as well. Brings back many happy memories. It was great to have been in at the birth of all this stuff, just magic. I have to say the games you've been posting I haven't heard of the half of them, you must have some collection, I'm slightly jealous TBH. |

| | Actually the Games Nostalgia download page says that "the archive includes the required emulator (DOSBox) and it's already configured". Like I said before. The same emulator will run Hexen, Doom, Quake and all that great late-period DOS stuff. |

| | No need to buy an old PC. Plays well in DOSBox. Tried it briefly while I was preparing the scans. Works fine on Windows 10 64-bit or anything else that runs DOSBox. I'll add a screen grab from W10. |

| | Many happy hours playing this gem of a game. I had been thinking recently of buying an old PC just to get playing them again. |
