How to open downloaded applications from this site on my Acorn A5000

Hello, I've just brought my roughly my Father's 16 year old Acorn A5000 from the attic. It's been a while since we last used it.

And I just discovered this website today full of the old applications I used to have on the A5000, so it would be brilliant if I could play them again. I have some blank floppy disks, and I've tried downloading some of these apps such as Space Invaders and then installing them on the A5000.

But the computer won't recognize the files. So are you supposed to convert these ADF files to a certain format the A5000 can read or what? Because I haven't got a clue, I was quite young when we last used it.

Thanks for your time.

This is the direction I rarely use.
But one way is the ADFImager. http://acorn.revivalteam.de/?site=DiscImaging
