Retro Software is both:
  • a community dedicated to encouraging and supporting the development of brand new games for "retro" computing platforms
  • a publishing label for Acorn micros - namely the BBC Microcomputer range, the Acorn Electron, the Acorn Atom, the Acorn Archimedes and the Acorn RISC PC.

We provide information on projects currently in development, a forum for programmers and gamers alike to gather opinion and ask questions, as well as a knowledge-base that experts can use to document coding principles, best practices etc. Also available are a number of tools for modern systems, which are intended to make it easier to develop software for such classic machines.

The first commercial release by Retro Software was ZAP! for the BBC Micro in May 2009. This was followed up in September 2009 by The Krystal Connection. These mid-range Blue Label titles were joined by our eagerly-awaited first premium White Label release, Repton: The Lost Realms at R3PLAY in November 2010. All three are available on cassette and floppy disc (incl. a free emulator image with each physical purchase) and supplied in a jewel case complete with colour inlay and printed labels.

Alongside these commercial titles, the Retro Software community has continued to produce a steady stream of quality freeware titles, available for download direct from this site. Some of our latest releases are linked above, but there are many more available from our Releases page.

Please note, Retro Software is and will always be a non-profit initiative and all revenue goes towards the cost of materials and promotion.
