Arcade Bulletin Board is a lively and entertaining forum intended mainly for
users of the Acorn Archimedes range of computers and the BBC range of machines.

On Arcade BBS you will find information and discussion areas on many varied
subjects, programming help, games reviews, Desktop Publishing hints and many
more, to which YOU can contribute. You will find a whole host of friendly and
informative users ready to comment on, discuss and help with a wide range of
interests, not only about computing, but on any subjects including day-to-day
happenings in the world.

There is a large database of Public Domain software for the Archimedes range
available both for download online and on discs ordered by post. 

To be able to read and join-in with comments and queries, and have access to
the full software database, you have to become a registered user of Arcade BBS.

  to other participating Bulletin boards. There are usually strict rules about
  what subjects can be discussed in any particular Echo area, and an appointed
  Moderator will ensure that the rules are adhered to. The Moderator will tell
  a user if rules are being broken by sending a private message via the system.

 You are joined to all these file areas automatically when you press [J] in the
 File area menu. You can resign from and re-join any area individually, and you
 can also download a list of all the files in all the areas from the File menu.
 The Filelist is updated weekly, as is a list of the additions and deletions to
 it.  You can download as many files as your online time will allow, and as you
 queue files, a running total of the download time is calculated,  and queueing
 stops when your time limit is reached.

 Other feature areas on Arcade BBS are found in Bulletin and Information Areas.
