Icon
Icon were a small(ish) company based in Gosforth, Newcastle, and the whole thing was run by Dave Crofts, and Trevor Scott, after a few years the company got into financial difficulties and ended up selling their development team to ASL and with that other assets such as the rights to the back catalogue. After that I think the company disintegrated.
Bruce Nesbitt, Gary Partis, Jason Sobell, Kevin Blake, Dave Crofts and Dave Mann all ended up working for ASL, their new development team (still based in the North) was run by Darryl Still of ASL and later Godax.

Warp-1
Released:
Author: Unknown
Play
A Star Trek clone, this is even more daring, as it goes so far as to redraw the Enterprise exactly as it is, something which I don't think Paramount would be too pleased about! You have to kill all the Klingons, moving across the sectors on a chart, and finding them. It is a very slow paced game, not at all like an arcade game, but it is definitly good fun! The graphics are very nice, low-res but lots of detail, and a nice status layout.
Zorakk The Conqueror

A simple war game, you have to destroy the computers monsters, you are Zorakk. It is quite entertaining and not as boring or complicated as some war games, the graphics are neat, and drawn in low-res, but they look fine. Overall, if you like wargames, then this is a good play.
