The Adventures of Quik & Silva is a platform video game originally released in 1991 for the Amiga[1][2][3] and Atari ST.[4] The game was developed by members of Factor 5 pseudonymously as New Bits On The RAM (presumably a play on New Kids on the Block), and was first published as a covermounted disk on Amiga Fun magazine.[5][6][7] The game was later available in 1992 as public domain software, with the Amiga version reviewed in issue 18 of Amiga Power.[8][9] This game is assumed to be the first appearance, albeit unlicensed, of Sonic the Hedgehog for a home games format.[10] Additionally, the various enemies in the game are based on characters from other titles, such as Bubble Bobble, Nebulus, R-Type, and The Great Giana Sisters.
