From Lee Van Jackson:

Automata Cartogrophy, was formed by Mel Croucher and Christian Penfold. ( Mel Croucher is interviewed at http://www.zxgoldenyears.co.uk/interview4.html ) . They pushed the limits as far as whacky games were concerned, forming a cult with a string of games based around their mascot, the Piman. As far as I know the last game released was for the spectrum called Frogg Adventure in 1996!
