This company was something of a specialist at arcade shoot em up style games. It was run by just one person, Orlando, which is amazing considering the way the games are programmed, he really knew what the BBC Micro could do, and how to achieve it! Orlando also produced 3D Pool for Firebird.

Please contact me if you have any additional information about the company or its games!

A great shoot-em-up, with plenty of detail, and a great musical score. It is a standard top to bottom scrolling game, but the best thing is that it is never repetitive, the scenery is good and changes often and there is an impressive range of enemies to fight. There is also a version of this game which works in an enhanced mode if you have 16k of Sideways RAM, I would throughly reccommend this version. The only bad thing about this game is that it gets incredibly fast in the later levels.

One of my least favourite games, this is a platform game where you control a cave man, and have to get past a wide range of enemies, dodging snakes and arrows. The worst things about this game are that it is so slow, and the whole thing seems completely lifeless, even most of the enemies are just motionless blobs!

One of my favourite shoot em up games, this is really just a copy of Galaga, but has a great twist, the aliens fly at you in an incredibly wide range of formations, which change every wave. I really like this game, it has big, bold graphics with lots of detail, and a lovely musical score.
