The BBC Micro
Hints And Tips Site
Please excuse the stolen pictures on this page, they are temporary until I get some of my own.
Wanted
Does anyone have a decent scanned in image of a BBC Micro that I can put on this page, if you have then can you mail it to me please.
Cheat It Again Joe 2 (Copy/Original/.SSD .IMG etc Image providing it has no funny disk protection).
If Anyone has any old copies of Acorn User or The Micro User or any other BBC magazine they want rid of then please contact me. I can't afford to buy them but I will pay for the postage (have some sympathy I've got no money). I live on Tyneside so I can collect from anywhere in the North East of England.
If anyone has any cheats for BBC Games, then let me know so I can put them on this page or add a link to them.
What's New
8.9.98 I'm back! at a new address though, this could be temporary as I am hoping to back to AOL asap. My e-mail address is for time being [email protected] this may be changing so I will keep you posted. A lot of the links to my files will not be working at the moment, give me a few days to get everything uploaded and the links fixed.
18.8.98 Added Repton 3 music in MIDI format, please read the notes on it before downloading it. Available from the About the BBC Micro Page. I've also added a section on how to obtain versions of games released by Superior Software or Acornsoft.
14.8.98 Due to technical difficulties, I have removed the frames from my web site. They will return when I work out what is wrong with them. I've just spotted another spelling mistake, if anyone sees any spelling mistakes (Front Page Express does not have a spell checker), let me know so I can sort them out.
6.8.98 Added Airwolf map and guide. Added Perplexity passwords. Added the passwords for all the Repton 3 add-ons, these are now incorporated with the original game passwords. I haven't had time lately to work on the Castle Quest Map, I'll try and work on it this weekend.
16.7.98 Sorry about the delay in getting something new, I've added maps of Palace Of Magic that were in The Micro User - November 1988. I still haven't got my disk drive and games disks back.
5.7.98 Nothing new, I'm currently working on a map of Castle Quest using screen shots, this should be available this week although it might not be on this site but I will provide a link to it. Good news, I've finally replaced my old broken BBC Micro, I do have a couple of problems with it, if you are on the BBC Micro mailing list you will already know this. Anyway I should be getting my games disks and disk drive back on Thursday, so hopefully I'll be able to provide you with quite a few cheats that I have on disk. I've been looking at the Cheat It Again Joe disks, unfortunately I only have the Micro User demo version transferred to my PC. The idea is to extract the individual cheats and incorporate them into the appropriate games.
2.7.98 Added Bonecruncher Passwords
29.06.98 Added The Micro User guide to Elite
28.06.98 Added Repton 3 Passwords And Editor Codes.
26.06.98 Nothing new today, I'm working on the Repton 3 passwords/editor codes. I've completed Prelude and Toccata, hopefully I will have completed Finale by Sunday, I've got a few other things to do (like watching the England Match). I'm hoping to start work on the Elite guide over the weekend, so that should be available sometime next week.
25.06.98 Added Revs guide, Repton and Big KO Passwords
24.06.98 Page Up And Running, added Sphere Of Destiny cheat, Repton 2 Guide and Thunderstruck 2 Maps. Added the Top 10 BBC Games and the music from Repton in MIDI format.
