please help it says windows cant open the file and then says something like, would you like to search the internet to see what program uses this file. i can download them no problem its just that i cant open the game file to play it. *removed ROM site link*

The site you linked to has a "Email me" link. Contact them, and I am sure they can tell you what you need to know. As for the site itself, it is a ROM site - and as such the link has been removed.

Apparently, these are ROM files. You'll have to google around for SSD and emulator.

Would do that for you, but... well, I'm way too tired for that today.

Err...that´s a joke, right? :wallbash:


You give us the link to the site that lets you download these games. There´s this nice button "main page". If you click it, you´ll get to the main page, where you will find out, that these games were designed for the "classic and wonderful BBC Microcomputer".
If you now look at the line of text between the paragraphs "Contents" and "Some of the many games in the Archive:", you´ll find this:

That will lead you to a step-by-step-guide about how to play these games.
(I even save you time by including the correct link into the above quote... I seem to have my "be friendly"-day <_< )
