The notable titles, drawn from 471 BBC Micro releases in our archive, plus when it reached the UK and what its games are worth today.

In the UK UK: December 1981, £399 (Model B)

Born out of the BBC's Computer Literacy Project, Acorn's Model B became the machine a whole generation met at school rather than at home. It was expensive and superbly built, with a reputation for reliability that kept it in classrooms for years. It also gave the world Elite, the wireframe space epic that rewrote what a home computer could do. Fewer games reached it than the cheaper rivals, so the notable BBC titles below are a select bunch, and originals can be scarce.
