History

Acorn Arcade was founded in 1997 by Alasdair Bailey and Graham Crockford. It was awarded the 1998 Wakefield Acorn Spring Show 'Best Acorn enthusiast website'[2] and was listed in Acorn User as "the leading website for information on current RISC OS game developments".[3]

Its contents were incorporated into The Icon Bar in 2006.[4] It has been selected for inclusion by editors in at least one web directory,[5]

Main features

The original site featured RISC OS articles, news, game reviews and other media.[6][7] Since its merger with The Icon Bar, the site showcases that news content under its own skin, while retaining its own separate game-related areas.
