Tynesoft

History

Formed in 1983, Tynesoft were strong supporters of the platforms that larger publishers often ignored like the Commodore 16 and the Atari and Acorn computers. This led them to porting some very well known titles such as Jet Set Willy and Boulder Dash. However, it's the first of their £3.99 Four Great Games compilations on their MicroValue label that gave them their greatest chart success. The company went bust in 1990, but director Colin Courtney soon founded a replacement, Flair Software, which continued to use the MicroValue name.
