I remember seeing adverts for this and wondering what it was. Was it used for any commercial games?



Some smaller ones, but nothing big. There was a user submission contest that got some traction, but the jump up from BASIC to using this was not easy. This was the time of 'rock star game devs' but interrupts, memory paging and sprite libraries probably crushed a few teenage dreams.

From the manual (those were different times indeed!):

> We are also interested to hear of any extensions or routines you may develop, and if sufficient interest is shown we will start a News Letter, and possibly, even a User Group.
