For some reason, this company produced games which reminded me of the Spectrum (boo!), that is probably because they were one of the biggest Spectrum games publishers at one time, with lots of TV licenses coming their way. They only did a few games on the BBC Micro, but the ones they did do I thought were pretty cool. Unfortunately things went a bit bad for them in the later half of the 80's, when they were planning a game based on 'Scooby Doo' which lost them a lot of money as it was never completed.
Please contact me if you have any additional information about the company or its games!

Probably one of the first TV Licenses, this one is based on the old TV series. I think it is a good one, because it has loads of good puzzles, the basic aim is to rescue the scientists found scattered around a cave. The graphics are good for Mode 2. It also has some good sounds!
Commando

This is on Play It Again Sam 4 as well, it is basically one of those 'shoot everything in site' games. It certainly is very hard, you basically have to fight against hundreds of soldiers, as you are 1 man dropped deep behind enemy lines. The aim is to capture the secret fortress. It is a bit slow in places, but good fun.
Paper Boy

The old classic, this has been done on just about every format ever. It is of course, the only game where you have to deliver papers, but boy is it fun. Smashing windows, grannies, and of course the great BMX Track at the end of each level, what fun! The only thing that detracts from it is the fact that Elite chose to do this in a two colour mode, why?
