These guys were at it for years, although all their games on the BBC are just conversions, and were originally written on the Spectrum. They were bought out in the late 90's by Infogrammes, and now form the Infogrammes Sheffield team.

A pretty boring game about trying to become a good footballer and get transferred to better teams. It is all in text, so there are no fancy graphics, and I think it was originally distributed with a board game. It is very dull anyway, certainly no match for Football Manager!

A good attempt to de-throne Arkanoid as the king of Breakout clones, this is quite interesting, and the graphics are nice, but it just isn't easy enough!  You can lose most of your lives on the first level as there isn't enough space between the paddle and the bricks - doh!

An utter rip-off of Elite, I would't be surprise if this actually uses a 1/3 of the original code of Elite!  It really is so strange how companies managed to get away with things like this back then!  Of course, it could never match up to the original, and the whole thing is really a dreadful mess.
