Mysterious Adventures

Hello folks

Tonight Martijn made a few updates to this series. It would seem that most were subsequently released by Channel 8 and then Paxman Promotions (who kept the original Digital Fantasia inlay art - love those inlays!). Created a few new STPs but I've had my cassette player out tonight to dump them.

The question is, was there any relationship between Paxman/Prism Leisure/Digital Fantasia/Channel 8? Only asking because Time Machine, Pulsar 7, Golden Baton, Wizard of Akyrz and Ten Little Indians all have Adventure International cassettes...

Just wondered. Jim, any thoughts?!

cheers

    Digital Fantasia and Channel 8 were both run by Brian Howarth, so that's a link there. BH later worked for Adventure International, so that's another connection. Paxman was a subsidiary of Prism which dealt in re-releasing games from defunct companies. At some time after Channel 8 ceased trading in 1985 I presume that BH must have sold the distribution rights to PP. AFAIK that was the only link between DF/C8 and PP/PL.

    But BH didn't release the games I mention above on the Adventure International label, so I wonder why those Paxman re-releases were on proper AI cassettes? They are printed with the game name, its not a botch job.

    Maybe they used up spare AI cassettes when AI went bust? Or AI were about to release them before they went bust!

    cheers
