superior software ltd ( also known as superior interactive ) is a video game publisher .

it was one of the main publishers for the bbc micro and acorn electron computers in the 1980s and early 1990s .

it currently releases games for microsoft windows ; mostly updates of its original games .

superior software

superior software started in autumn 1982 . its first four products were : galaxy birds , space fighter , centibug and invaders . the first three were written by richard hanson , the founder of superior software .
at superior software logic , we realize that your success is our success . . . and we will succeed .
if you need any specialty software on your office computer , you and / or your department can purchase the software from wisc .
superior software was a publisher of games and utilities for the bbc micro and other home computers , based in leeds , england , owned and run by richard hanson .
after working at superior software for 18 months , the same length of time i was at micro power , i was offered a job at europress , and took it… .
next : working at europress / database software / mandarin software previous : working at micro power / program power , leeds you can contact me about this page here .
the most popular individual title was , surprisingly , overdrive - now on our superior collection compilations .
superior has always placed the bbc microlelectron market first and hence has been successful in this niche .
on the superior software side , one day we received a game in the post called repton from a 15 - year - old teenager called tim tyler , which he had written in a month .
any custom software development : if you need to computerize your applications , we can do it .
the following is a list of bbc master games published by superior software in the centre for computing history collection . it is not an exhaustive list of and other games may have been published . if you have any games or software that you would like to donate to our collection , please view our donations page .
the following is a list of acorn archimedes games published by superior software in the centre for computing history collection . it is not an exhaustive list of and other games may have been published . if you have any games or software that you would like to donate to our collection , please view our donations page .
the following is a list of acorn electron games published by superior software ltd in the centre for computing history collection . it is not an exhaustive list of and other games may have been published . if you have any games or software that you would like to donate to our collection , please view our donations page .
the following is a list of bbc micro games published by superior software ltd , acornsoft in the centre for computing history collection . it is not an exhaustive list of and other games may have been published . if you have any games or software that you would like to donate to our collection , please view our donations page .
i said i also might be able to help him with superior software . he didn’t think i’d be able to do much as he showed me a graph showing how he predicted sales would go down and down over the coming months .
so he was contacting me at superior to see if we were interested . i said we could do well with it if we simply sold it as a software program that people loaded from tape and floppy disc into ram , as i knew the popular program for the atari 400 / 800 called s . a . m . : software automatic mouth .
( around september 1991 , a few years after i left superior , speech was launched for the acorn archimedes computer . )
all faculty and staff office pc computers come with basic software programs - adobe reader , microsoft office suite , and windows media player . all faculty and staff office apple computers come with basic software programs - microsoft office , and quick time .
superior has been publishing games for the bbc micro from the start and has built up a reputation for good quality and original games .
this was recognised by acorn computers who , in 1986 , agreed to superior taking over acomsoft releases . other software houses who published over the full range of computers tended to neglect the bbc micro market or produced second - rate products , almost as an afterthought .
“chris payne worked with me as a marketing manager , and his knowledge of marketing – he has a degree in the subject – assisted superior software to grow rapidly from a small company to a much larger one . in terms of the company’s financial progress , his knowledge was an enormous contribution . ”
i think it is well known that he programmed such brilliant games as the last ninja , superior soccer and barbarian ii . he is now working on hostages .
when you buy a record it ' s the artist and title that are important - many people couldn ' t even tell you who the publisher is . however with software it ' s the software house whose name is promoted rather than the author ' s . in fact , many games in the past were released without a mention of the author . do you think this is fair and what is superior ' s policy on promoting the author ' s name ?
our consultants have years of experience in designing , building , and enhancing our clients ' software systems . whether it ' s an enterprise web app , an api , or a mission critical business application , we ' ve got the talent and experience to deliver high quality software that meets the needs of your business .
ricochet - detailed colourful graphics and animation ; many characters , adversaries and puzzles !

“speech ! from superior software was such a ground - breaking piece of software , that it is difficult to overestimate the impression that it made . it was featured on television programs – for instance micro live presenter fred harris demonstrated it on the bbc 1 saturday morning children’s show “saturday superstore” . and it also starred on records – most famously on roger water’s ( ex - pink floyd ) solo lp “radio chaos” . “radio chaos” was a concept album about someone that creates a computerised voice ( a person receives a credit for operating a master 128 on the sleeve ! ) . ”
allows integration with many other third party software tools , including excel , matlab , catia and solidworks , enabling automatic mapping of input and output parameters , improving process automation and decreasing development time .
i knew the teenage author of the game ghouls for the bbc micro : david hoskins . he rang me one day as he had created a software - based speech synthesiser for the bbc micro .
however , unreasonably high prices tend to promote piracy , as has happened to a large extent with the atari st and amiga markets , and may happen with the archimedes market if software houses are not careful .
i left micro power , joined richard in his superior offices , he provided me with a company car , i came up with the name cryptic records . richard and i became co - directors . more about cryptic records here .
at afterman , our consultants understand that well designed and reliable software systems require reliable underlying infrastructure . allow our team to help you build out the infrastructure your solutions require , or to work to uplift your existing infrastructure .
some people feel that they can make all the money for themselves if they think of a good name for a software house and publish their own games . what are the pitfalls they could meet by adopting this approach ?
we will also be publishing a few very high quality games for the archimedes , such as hostages and superior golf , but we don ' t intend to jump on an archimedes bandwagon to the detriment of bbc micro / electron computer owners .
beyond the need for well written and developed systems lies the ever growing need for easily understood and usable applications . our highly talented team provides the information architecture , visual design , and front end development required in order to deliver a superior experience to your users .
licensing is now very popular throughout the software leisure market . the advantage to the publisher is that much of the marketing has already been done , hence costs can be much reduced and quality does not need to be reduced to offset licensing costs .
there must be a lot of people who ' ve written a game and don ' t know what to do with it . how should they go about submitting it to a company like superior , and how much could they expect to earn it it was expected ?
computer labs have adobe reader , microsoft office suite , microsoft visual studio , quick time player , spss statistical package , and winzip . instructors who have specialty software they want their students to have access to in computer labs need to contact the technology helpdesk .
at superior software logic , we are dedicated to meeting the information challenges that face most small businesses today . we have developed long - standing relationships with all of our clientele that allow us the ability to truly understand their needs , and to develop solutions that solve their problems and help their companies prosper . we are not a one - stop shop specializing in one thing , and we are not looking for the
quick fix
. we stand with our clients in any and all of their endeavors , to the very best of our abilities , and with all of our resources .
one of the latest trends in games software is to license the name of a film or use a famous person to promote a product . this obviously costs a lot of money , so why is it done ? doesn ' t it lead to a more expensive product or one of lower quality ?
i didn’t like superior’s packaging designs and artwork at all , so i brought in graphic designer mike ellis who i’d used at micro power , and i sketched out my ideas for the inlay card . the idea was to show very clearly the similarity to boulder dash so it would be picked up quickly in computer shops and purchased . this what mike came up with…
just as the leading international market proofing application oris color tuner / / web , the oris flex pack / / web is software for maximum flexibility and efficiency . the only system which allows the generation of printed and virtual proofs in a single web - based application . the core of the application being the patented iterative oris 4d - color management .

back in about 1984 , when i was 24 , i was working as marketing assistant at a rival publisher called micro power / program power , based in the same town , and less than half a mile away . i had been there 18 months and was ready to move on .
i chatted a few times with richard , then bumped into him one day while out shopping . sales weren’t going well . we were both into music , so he suggested we set up a shop in leeds selling lps and singles ( this was before the days of cds ! ) . i wasn’t interested , but i was interested in setting up a record label to promote local bands . richard thought that sounded great , so we discussed setting that up .
( micro power had turned the game down as it was so similar to boulder dash and didn’t want to have copyright issues i guess , so tim then sent it to us as the second most prominent games publisher for the bbc micro . )
i suggested that the game needed a password system so players could skip earlier levels of the game as they progressed through the levels , rather than starting from the very beginning each time they played . this feature was incorporated .
the game was a terrific success . later i tweaked the company logo , rounding out the harsh edges to the ss , and giving it a little depth , without altering it too much…
repton 2 , released in november 1985 , was a great success too . here’s the full - page ad i created for it . i used to sit in bed at night browsing through books of typefaces ( ! ) and advert designs – and came across a newish typeface called dave , so i asked mike ellis to use it for the strap line at the top of this ad…
as i had my atari 400 , i had some games which had level designers built in . this was a new idea at the time . so when richard and i talked about creating repton 3 , i encouraged him to include a level designer . repton 3 was released a year after repton 2 in november 1986 .
eventually the repton range sold 125 , 000 units which was an amazing success for that time in the early days of the computer games industry .
( early in 2010 richard hanson sent me a development copy of irepton for the iphone to get my feedback , and i really enjoyed writing up my comments for that . )
he saw it being sold on a chip which would be slotting inside the computer once you’d unscrewed the lid . he had offered the speech synthesiser to micro power , but they had turned it down .
speech ! took up 7k ( ! ) of memory , so on a 32k bbc micro there was plenty of room left for a program that would use it .
i came up with some ideas for simple programs which would show off what you could do with it , such as a simple spelling program for children .
i decided to keep the name of the package simple : speech ! with an exclamation mark on the end .
for the packaging i drew a sketch of a genie coming out of the computer with a jaggedy speech bubble saying “speech ! ” , gave this to mike ellis and he came up with some great artwork .
in hindsight it probably would have been more successful if i’d come up with a cleverer name .
we sold speech ! for £9 . 95 on tape and £11 . 95 on disc , far far less than if we had sold it on rom .
i had the idea to create a advert to encourage programmers to send their games to us – and make us their first choice , rather than micro power which was our biggest competitor .
so i wrote a full - page colour ad headed can you write games ? and explained how much money repton and other games had made for their young programmers .
i really enjoyed working with richard : he ran a solid business very prudently and wisely .
that’s very kind , though i was less than 2 years out of college , so i was very green marketing - wise at the time .

these games were produced only for the bbc micro and only in cassette form . although relatively simple , they are still fun to play .
a few years ago it was common to hear tales of programmers getting rich very quickly . photographs of them standing next to their newly - acquired sports cars were a common sight in the press . is it still a rewarding occupation ?
only a very few highly talented programmers are getting a good income out of producing computer games . nowadays they are much more complex than those released a few years ago and take much , much longer to write .
games produced by teams of two or more programmers are now quite common . for example , ricochet had two game authors , two graphics designers and a loading screen designer .
a good game by a new author can , if it is carefully marketed , earn the author a few thousand pounds .
we are always looking for new games for the bbc / electron and archimedes micros , and several by previously unknown authors are at present under development .
they may be released as individual titles , as occurred with ricochet and perplexity , or be included in compilations , as with qwak ( on play it again sam 10 ) and baron ( on play it again sam 11 ) .
we are interested in receiving games for evaluation for the bbc micro , the electron and the archimedes . they can be submitted on either disc or cassette .
it is very important that sufficient documentation is provided so that the game can be played in full . if a cheat version is available , this should also be submitted , as it can save a lot of time in checking the higher levels .
unfortunately it ' s not quite so easy . the game code is only the first step . you then need to check compatability with all the different types of bbc micros and various add - ons , and apply some protection to prevent piracy .
you then need the cassettes and discs , the printed labels , the printed inlays and instructions and the cassette / disc cases .
for most of these items bulk purchase is much cheaper than buying just a few items - so you need capital . having sorted out the duplication , you will have your product . you ' ve then got to sell it .
games are released in many forms - full price , budget , compilation , in a big box with a detailed manual or in a plastic case with brief instructions . how do you decide what sort of packaging to use and how to price the product ?
we try to keep to a standard size packaging for cassettes and discs , as this is preferred by retail outlets such as w . h . smiths . it also makes for attractive collections of games in people ' s homes .
we also try to stick to standard prices . our prices of £9 . 95 for cassette , £11 . 95 for 5 . 25in disc and £14 . 95 for master compact discs have remained the same for several years , which in practice means that our prices have been reduced .
the exceptions to our standard packaging and prices are our mega - games such as elite , revs + revs 4 tracks , exile and repton infinity .
each of these include a large booklet ( for exile there are two booklets , a novella and an instruction manual ) , which requires the larger video type case . the higher prices relate to the extra costs of the booklets and the higher development and royalty costs .
at present you sell games for all acorn micros from the electron to the archimedes series . what is the present split between the various micros and how do you see this changing in the future ?
the market split has not changed appreciably over the past two or three years , with the bbc micro sales being highest , followed by electron sales , with archimedes being a long way behind .
we are very committed to the bbc micro and electron market and will continue to produce new and original games for these computers for several years to come .
there are so many hundreds of thousands of bbc micro and electron micro in schools and homes , with a very strong second - hand market , that we expect the bbc micro and electron markets to remain buoyant for several years to come .
a good game on the bbc micro requires the same attributes as a good game on any computer , that is playability , good use of graphics and sound and originality .
the bbc micro owner is probably more keen on strategy type games than other computer users , which helps to explain the massive success of the repton games and arcade adventures like citadel , and ricochet .
the most popular series of games was , and continues to be , repton games , which have now sold well over 100 , 000 units on the bbc micro and electron .
one of the biggest groups of repton addicts are housewives . once their husbands and children are safely out of way , on goes the life of repton and another couple of screens are sorted out . the highest selling games at present are the play it again sam compilations , now up to number 12 .
all these compilations , from number 1 through to number 12 are almost equally popular . it ' s not surprising since the collection includes , at affordable prices , nearly all the best games ever produced for bbc micro and electron , such as thrust , stryker ' s run , galaforce , killer gorilla , frak ! , imogen , the sentinel , firetrack , snapper , winter olympiad 88 , zalaga , skirmish and the last ninja .
you might expect me to choose one of the mega - games such as elite or exile , but i don ' t get too much time for game - playing so i prefer the sort where you can get enjoyment from a short playing time , but which exercise the mind .
at present i find both ricochet and perplexity provide very enjoyable relaxation . occasionally i ' ll have another stab at trying to complete repton 2 .
such products would not be successful if the consumer did not want them . although we have licensed film rights , as with predator , and bbc television game rights , as with a question of sport , most of our licensing deals are for products previously released on other computer formats , such as barbarian and the last ninja . again , reduced marketing costs can offset the cost of the licence .
our recent licensing agreement with infogrames opens up a whole range of new games for acorn computers , including some of the most original titles ever produced for micros , starting with hostages and sim city in the summer . other possibilities for the future include captain blood , north & south and drakkhen .
games can usually be categorised - adventure , shoot - em - up or simulation for example . would you consider releasing any type of game or are there some that you would avoid . . . and why ?
we try to release a full range of games , although we find that arcade adventures and strategy games are particularly popular in the bbc micro / electron market . very good shoot - em - ups , such as galaforce and firetrack , also do well .
on each play it again sam compilation we try to give a mix of the various types of game to keep everyone in the family happy .
we always acknowledge the authors on our game inlays or instructions and we encourage authors to get in touch with magazines and discuss their games and give hints .
one problem with promoting the author ' s names is that many write one game , sometimes very successfully , and that ' s it . with authors who consistently produce top quality games , such as the very talented peter scott , we freely and very happily acknowledge his authorship .
the main problem associated with converting games to the bbc micro and electron from 16 and 32 bit micros is that players ( and reviewers ) will inevitably compare the result with the original games , and may then be disappointed .
however ballistix was a very successful conversion of the atari st and amiga release by psygnosis , and our version of sim city , to be released later this year , will be based more on the amiga version of the game ( which was selected as the top game of 1989 in america ) than the commodore 64 one .
we will continue our present a mix of totally new releases , such as ricochet and perplexity , licensed games such as predator and last ninja 2 and play it again sam compilations .
licensing deals with companies such as infogrames should also bring to acorn computers the very best of products from the american and european markets , such as sim city .
