I DO (Acornsoft/Ivan Berg) - Game Screenshot

Description:

A big box package featuring a suite of programs designed to tell if you, and your current partner, will get along if you take the big step towards either living together or getting married. A range of scales designed to measure specific character traits, including masculinity and femininity, which were designed in the 1980's and provide some fascinating social comment now.

Released by Acornsoft/Ivan Berg

Library

Acorn Electron World is organised into distinct sections, to make it as easy as possible for you to explore all of it and locate any resource you require.

Sections

  1. Media
    1. Professional Releases (UK)
      Features the largest archives of the site. Showcases every professional release that could be purchased on the high street (or via mail order) in the Electron's heyday (1982-1991)
    2. Professional Releases (Other Countries)
      Features versions of Electron software designed for Speakers of Other Languages. Dutch, German and Welsh software is available in this library
    3. Public Domain Releases
      Features all of that software written by home-coders and originally available from the PD libraries circa 1988-1995. All of this software is exclusively disc-based
    4. Companion Discs
      Features the code to accompany books and programs in the Books and Magazines archives - so that if you want to play a game originally supplied as a type-in, you don't need to type it in again. All of this software is exclusively disc-based
    5. Electron User Group (EUG) Discs
      Features the entire library of EUG discs, the User Group founded by Will Watts in 1991 which continues to produce and review new demos, games and other programs to this day. All of this software is exclusively disc-based
    6. Unfinished Games
      Features a selection of games that never made it to publication and exist in half-finished versions. All of this software is exclusively disc-based
    7. Unreleased Games
      Features a selection of games originally designed to be Professional Releases, but which did not ultimately make it to publication. All of this software is exclusively disc-based
    8. Search By Screenshot
      The section of the site that allows you to search by your own "recognition" if you don't remember the name of the program you are actually looking for.
  2. Books
    Features all of the third party books supplied for the Electron, most of which are available as PDF files for download. Most books are in English only, with some available in Dutch
  3. Game Help
    Features a library of assistance with games released for the Electron, compiled from Electron User magazine, EUG's Elk Entertainment columns and the hintsheets supplied by The Impact Games Club
  4. Hardware
    Features information, photographs and downloadable User Guides for the Acorn Electron itself, plus all of the expansions produced for it over the years. User Guides are in Microsoft Word format
  5. Magazines
    Features individually scanned pages of all of the magazines in which the Electron has been featured, or which published programs for it
  6. ROMs
    Features information, photographs and downloadable User Guides for the ROM chips produced for the Electron. User Guides are in Microsoft Word format
  7. ROM Cartridges
    Features an archive of information on Acornsoft's ROM Cartridges for the Electron
