GAMING NEWS / ARCHIVES
| | |
Acorn Arcade. | Acorn Arcade launched the writing career of Alisdair Bailey, who would subsequently go on to join the Computer Shopper labs team. It's one of the only dedicated RISC OS gaming sites that still gets an occasional update. |
| | | Acorn Gaming | Gareth Moore's Acorn Gaming site was launched in 1993, and up until 2003 was regularly updated. As the number of games for RISC OS fell to a couple a year, the site was left for archive purposes rather than regularly updated. What it offers is a good incite into the state of play for RISC OS gaming over the years, and a very good read. Make some coffee, click the link and read on. |
