Bubble Bus Software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bubble Bus Software was a publisher of video game software for home computers in the mid-1980s, founded by Mark Meakins[1][2] and based in Tonbridge, Kent. Their releases targeted popular home computers of the time, such as the Commodore 64, VIC-20 and ZX Spectrum.[3] Their most notable releases were Starquake and Wizard's Lair, both written by Stephen Crow. Wizard's Lair was notable for its similarity to both Atic Atac and Sabre Wulf.[4]
