Nope... not the ones my company did c. 1983-1985... but we
wrote kiddie software. I've never seen a copy of our stuff on
the 'net. *sniff* I did a web search of some of our titles
once and found my discussion of them on classiccmp and *one*
other reference - in a resume from our head programmer.

We were well regarded in our day (three of Reader's Digest's
top 5 selling titles), but obviously, history paints a different
picture. Not even good enough to steal. :-(

We also supported the BBC Micro and the Apple II (with eventual
support of the PC and PCjr, but those platforms weren't popular
for the home yet).

P.S. - for the curious, the titles were written by Software Productions;
the three biggest names were "Alphabet Beasts and Company", "Micro
Mother Goose" and "Micro Habitats". "Cross Swords" never made it out
of development.
