If you have visited the Books archive of this website, you will be aware of the numerous collections of 'type-in's brought out for the Acorn Electron. Typically such books contain a mixture of different demos, games and utilities, all of wildly differing quality. Such programs are notoriously difficult to categorise. They do not warrant a disc to themselves but, as an essential part of everything available, have to be included somewhere.

The "EUG Special" disc library arose in part as a solution to this problem. EUG's Editor typed up the code, added a menu system and named the disc with the same title as the book. Do not confuse the EUG "Specials" however, with the EUG "Magazines". (In the EUG Magazines, each program has been created and submitted for inclusion by the Electron User Group readers.)

That said, not all of the EUG Specials have been created from previously published books. Two of them (to date) are collections of 8-bit artwork which were simply collated by EUG. The pictures originally were scattered across numerous discs in the 8 Bit Software PD library. They have now been put together with an intelligent menu system in the same format, making for a smart and uniformly presented collection of discs.
