Home for Obsolete Computer Games
Once upon a time there were tiny computers in every home in the land. Happily they spun their 4 colour, big pixel games for the amusement of bored seven year olds who would grow up to be the programmers of the 21st century.
Sadly, many of these programs are now defunct and remembered only occasionally .. this page is a home for all those happy memories. Please feel free to mail me to add all the programs I have missed out, and any internet/guide sites you know of for them... If you wish to adopt a program, leave a message below....
