Company created in 1986 by Dave Palmer (former founder of Alligata) and Roger Hulley, running from Sheffield and Pontefract, until 1988 when Dave Palmer left to found Hi-Tec Softare.
A budget games company which went into the fray in the late 80's, with a mixture of its own games and re-releases. They were immensely popular on the Electron which was starved of Superior's later releases, they also managed to get a lot of re-release deals with companies such as Domark, Mastertronic and the like.
Please contact me if you have any additional information about the company or its games!

Not really a game, all this program does is test how long after seeing something you can press the space bar, its not very exciting.

Repton-like game with a twist, you can rotate the screen around in order to gain access to the crystals. This game was a lot more popular on the Sinclair range of computers, spawning many sequels. This conversion isn't too bad, the graphics are very average though, really showing that this is more of a conversion as it doesnt use the full BBC Micro feature set.

Below par Breakout clone, this is quite bad, the graphics are not exactly fluid, the default colours (thankfully they can be changed) are horrid and the ball moves around like its covered in treacle. Considering this was a late 80's effort rather than early 80's this is a very bad game.

Cross between Rocket Raid and Planetoid, this is another one of the Micro User type-in games. Not a very good one because all the opponents just stand still. How they got away with selling titles that were used in magazines already is anyones guess!

Basically you play Snap against another person (2 player only) and the one who gets the most snaps gets his dragon to kill the other player. Its a bit boring considering that you can play the same games with just cards and it is probably more fun.

A rather poor football management game, this isn't a patch on the classic Football Manager by Addictive. Its in an ugly mode and the crowd noise when you score a goal is terrible. It has a very home made feel about it, unsurprising as Alternative software claimed to be able to get your home programs into the shops in 3 weeks!

Not a bad game this one, its reminiscent of Star Wars, as if you were flying in an X-Wing and shooting TIE Fighters, the graphics arent too bad and the effect of moving along a planetscape is fairly good. Considering this was a budget game, it is very good.
