Acorn Electron screenshot of Exile, taken with the ElectrEm emulator.

This is a screenshot of a non-free copyrighted video or computer game, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the company or person that developed the game. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Acorn Electron
Description	A screenshot from Exile, showing the "border" of non-graphical data around the active graphics area caused by parts of the display buffer being used to store other data.
Source	Screenshot from Exile.
Article	Acorn Electron
Portion used	Single still image from game.
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	Used in the Acorn Electron article to illustrate the visual effect that would result when parts of the system's display buffer where used to store non-graphical data. This was sometimes done to work around the very limited memory available on the platform, and as a side effect this non-graphical data would be displayed on screen as seemingly random pixels outside the part of the screen used to display the actual graphics. This screenshot is a good example of this effect.
Replaceable?	I believe this screenshot is not replaceable except by other copyrighted screenshots from other games. In theory someone could write a free licensed program for the Acorn Electron using the same technique to produce the same effect and create a screenshot of it, but I believe it's best illustrated by a screenshot from one of the actual games that used this technique on the platform during it's commercial lifetime.
