BBC Model B was the computer the brittish gov. decided on to use in all its schools, was quite easy to program for etc, similar to a commodore 64 but only 32k ram. Made by a company called acorn, who went on to make the model B+ (more ram i think) and electron which were never as popular, then to make the Acorn Risc Machine architecture (ARM).Quote:

You can find pretty much all the games from google, removed my direct link as it prolly wasnt a good idea to post even though they have to be abandonware.
Superior Software released a lot of the good games.
EDIT: I still have access to 100s of discs for the system sitting somewhere at my fathers place, but with 2 of his 3 model Bs dead due to failed power supplys, he's rather hesitant to let me attempt to hook the thing up to a pc in order to dump all the discs myself, from howtos online it looks possible, tho not the most simple of tasks.
Cheers for your interest :D
