====== Eidersoft ====== Eidersoft were a company based in Ockenden, Essex run by Ken Browning, and released quite a lot of games for the Sinclair QL in the mid 1980s and were also notable for being the first company to offer a desktop for launching QL programs (ICE). The programs they published are: *[[qlwiki:Archiver]] (Invoicing, mailing, stock control and appointments programs to run within Psion [[qlwiki:Archive]]) *[[qlwiki:ArtICE]] (An icon controlled drawing package for use with [[qlwiki:ICE]]) *[[qlwiki:BJ Returns]] (The platform game sequel to [[qlwiki:QL Cavern]]) *[[qlwiki:BJ in 3D Land]] (The platform game sequel to [[qlwiki:BJ Returns]]) *[[qlwiki:CHOice]] - (multitasking software for use with [[qlwiki:ICE]]) *[[qlwiki:Citadel]] (Fly around multi-screen cities to collect symbols to reunite East and West) *[[qlwiki:Drawing OffICE]] (An icon controlled 3D image drawing program for use with [[qlwiki:ICE]]) *[[qlwiki:Eagle]] (A scramble clone) *[[qlwiki:ICE]] (An icon controlled front end for the QL, available with or without Mouse) *[[qlwiki:ICE Toolkit]] (A toolkit to enable your own programs to communicate with the ICE pointer environment) *[[qlwiki:ICICLE]] (A utility to allow you to add new icons for your own programs to [[qlwiki:ICE]]) *[[qlwiki:Karate]] (A good arcade implementation of the classic fighting game) *[[qlwiki:Mouseart]] (An icon controlled drawing package for use with [[qlwiki:ICE]] and the mouse) *[[qlwiki:Publishing OffICE]] (An icon controlled desk-top publishing program for use with [[qlwiki:ICE]]) *[[qlwiki:QDUMPS]] (Machine code screen dump) *[[qlwiki:QLART]] (A drawing program and character designer) *[[qlwiki:QSPELL]] (A spelling checker for Quill) *[[qlwiki:Spook]] (A pacman clone) *[[qlwiki:Zapper]] (A space invaders type shoot em up) Unfortunately, although we have now traced the copyright holders for Eidersoft software, after some initial emails, they stopped responding which is a real shame.
