According to the menu of the loaded game, the z80 version was made by B. Costas.

That's the only info which appears :S

    I sent a pm to the admin of the Domark Games page on FB (former Domark employees group) to see if he knows who mr (mrs?) B is.

    No offense intended, but you might want to use Infoseek when trying to discover things. The fact that Teque became Krisalis is well documented...

    no offence taken.. my line of thinking was maybe the dev's etc were mentioned in other games.. and not just on speccy ;)

    what,tell em to stop re running Van der Valk, don't ya get columbo in holland? :)


    as for DC , it's probably

    Dave Colledge , mentioned in Teque Software games..

    but I'd be surprised if Matt Furness didn't do the music, we had a mutual friend.. pity I don't have a number to find out 100%

    Today I have received mail from the person working in the Teque - Shaun Hollingworth:

    "The B in B. Costas is short for Barry, and he worked on this project with James Trip."

    So, a name of the programmer - Barry Costas.

    http://old.exotica.org.uk/gallery/games/e.html

    Name of the artist - Dave Colledge.

    So, added D.C. - Dave Colledge to game info :

    The corrections above have all been made, and I added Matt Furniss to Xybots for good measure.
