Software Projects

Software Projects was a computer game development company which was started by Manic Miner developer Matthew Smith, Alan Maton and Liverpool businessman Tommy Barton. After leaving Bug-Byte as a freelance developer, Smith was able to take the rights to his recently developed Manic Miner game with him, due to an oversight in his freelance contract. Software Projects was then able to market and publish the ZX Spectrum hit game separately from Bug-Byte. Their logo was a Penrose triangle.
In 1987, Software Projects released Special FX Software's first title Hysteria.
