Being a game from Hewson, I assume it was him :)

BTW, this was, apparently, the first game added to WoS!! :o

    He should probably get a credit for Quazatron, while we're at it.

    No, it's definitely not Andrew Braybrook. And it was developed by Quixel for Domark.

    According to the Google search results, Quixel seems to have only produced this game, in 1989 (for the speccy and other platforms) and one other (Cyberball) for the Amiga and C64 the following year, 1990 (info from http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/company/77544.html , trust it or not)

    Here: http://www.zxspectrumreviews.co.uk/Search.aspx?aut=5191 I got part of the info already on WOS: "Developed by Quixel, John Kavanagh, Raffaele Cecco"
    The JK / John Kavanagh is clearly seen on the loading screen, but where do the AW, AB fit? And how was RC mapped to Raffaele, do the headers from reviews in Crash and YS stated it?

    See the Amiga credits
    at 0:42
    All graphics Tony West
    Except ZX Andy Blazdell
    Sounds by Dave Whittakker

    Which could be Andrew Blazdell

    Yes and Andrew should be changed to Andy (as in the English instructions of 'That's the Sprit').

    Andy Blazdell can be found on LinkedIn and FaceBook (CelAction).

    Nicely found! Always wanted to know an author of in-game graphics.

    Unfortunately the authors listed in the ZXSR database are based on a VERY old extract of the Infoseek database (IIRC it's pre-InfoSeek - Martijn's original SGD database) so they're completely out of date. Unfortunately (as far as I'm aware) the Infoseek web service doesn't return authors :-( so I can't update them unless I do them individually, which ain't gonna happen...
