Argus Press

History

Argus Press Software was originally ASP Software, the software part of Argus Specialist Publications, publisher of magazines Home Computing Weekly, ZX Computing and Your Commodore. In 1984, they bought Quicksilva, Starcade and resurrected the Bug-Byte name for use as a budget label. They also published the final games from A'n'F Software and Lothlorien. In late 1987, the company was subject to a management buy-out and was rechristened Grandslam.
