SA compatible list of games


This page is very out of date, but get in touch at alex@archifishal.co.uk and I might still be able to help.


Any games you can't get to work? E-mail me at archifishal@altavista.net.

SA compatible music modules first. These may require modifications to the !Run files of games, also note that they are included in some of the patches below - they are just available here so that they can easily be added to games that aren't listed below:

These patches are used entirely at your own risk, I accept no responsibility for any loss of data due to the use of the patches. On the whole, they have been well tested, but there may be a few problems that have slipped through. If you find that a patch doesn't work for you, please let me know. Or if you find a game which doesn't work on the Risc PC, and are prepared to e-mail me it, please also let me know - although mail me before sending me the actual code.

Some of the games below that can be coaxed to work may have proper patches written for them at some point.

Author abbreviations:

Note: almost all patches below require this archive.
