They produced computer games for the ZX81 and ZX Spectrum home computers. They struck gold with the revolutionary 3D Monster Maze , the first 3D game for a home computer, which John Greye suggested they produce after seeing a basic 3D Maze that Evans had programmed in Z80 Assembler.

A recent edit added the following text to the link to the ZX81/Spectrum emulator: This ZX81 emulator was solely written to run '3D Monster Maze' on a ZX Spectrum. The fact that other games run as well is bonus! The emulator was written on a ZX Spectrum with the goal to run it on a SAM Coupé.
