I certainly had no idea Zeppelin or Durell still existed and it seems bizarre they would suddenly stop making games to do business software instead!

[@dragokills6990]

Harrier Attack! Amstrad classic!!!!

[@kloakovalimonada]

Very cool job, nice to see those names again.

[@datassetteuser356]

Very interesting. System 3 also comes to mind.

[@TheLairdsLair]

Very good shout! I didn't think of them!

[@gwh3013]

I grew up near Theale, never knew about Audiogenics though. Thats kinda crazy to find out

[@TheLairdsLair]

I lived in Theale for a while.

[@joejacobsonwales]

What about Superior Software? Loved them in my BBC days and I believe they are still going.

[@TheLairdsLair]

Yeah, as Superior Interactive. However I don't think they are that well known outside of people who owned Acorn computers.

[@joejacobsonwales]

@@TheLairdsLair yeah, you are probably right, I loved their games tho!

[@Larry]

Alternative Software still exist too.

[@TheLairdsLair]

They do indeed, I interviewed founder Roger Hulley quite recently. I nearly covered them in this video actually, but I thought they were more well-known than the others.

[@dragokills6990]

What about High Voltage Software? I believe they are still going?

[@TheLairdsLair]

Correct, they still are! Although they weren't founded until 1993.

[@colinmcdonald2499]

Wouldn't Microsoft count as a software company that still exists?

[@TheLairdsLair]

They would yes, but everyone knows they still exist . . . . . . I not only covered that at the very start of the video I even mentioned Microsoft in the first 30 seconds!!!! ;-)

[@dreamcaster4754]

OMG 😂😂😂😂😂
