Popular Computing Weekly


These discs are PD games from the magazine Popular Computing Weekly which ran from 1983 to 1985.

Some of these are quite intriguing as they are the "early first works" of people who went on to create much more well-known games, i.e. Nick Wilson who went on to write Combat Lynx.

As most issues only contained a single program for the BBC/Electron Dave Edwards who submitted this to us has put all these in alphabetical order on 6 discs.
