Spellbound (1984 Video Game) (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Spellbound is a Q*Bert clone written by P.W. Norris and published by Beyond Software. Beyond Software was a video game publisher in the UK in the 1980s. It was set up by the EMAP publishing group in 1983 and published numerous titles on the Commodore 64, Dragon 32, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC, but met with very little success until the release of Mike Singleton's Lords of Midnight in 1984. The Tolkien-esque strategy game became an instant success and allowed Beyond to establish a distribution deal with American developers First Star, as well as a publishing deal with C64 developer Denton Designs.
