Those of us old enough to recognise the beast on the left might be interested in the following sites:

BeebEm is a BBC Micro and Master 128 emulator. It enables you to run BBC Micro software on your PC. Runs on Windows 98 or later.

Only the Best BBC Micro Games is a BBC Games website dedicated to restoring the memories of time spent with the classic and wonderful BBC Microcomputer.

Stairway to Hell
is another BBC & Electron games archive as is The BBC Games Archive (surprisingly enough).

...and you shouldn't have to look too far to find Wordwise & all the other ROMs that were where some of us started. Was there a better BASIC than BBC BASIC? Remember LISP? Or Repton, Frak or Elite? It should be mentioned that all of these are copyright their respective owners.
The BBC B (pictured) cost c. £500 in 1982. And we moved on...
