Encyclopedia > Firebird (software label)

Firebird was a software label established by Telecomsoft for publishing budget computer games for a number of 8-bit home computer platforms. The games were sold at a price of around £2.50. Later, a full-price label was created by the same company under the name Rainbird. The company was best known for the game Elite.

CRASH 16 - Firebird (1982 words)
S A SOFTWARE HOUSE, FIREBIRD is a little unusual on two counts: first it has a complete range of ‘budget’ games which sell at £2.50 and are rather more polished than a lot of the software at the cheaper end of the market, secondly, they are owned by British Telecom.
Firebird had to decide whether to jump into the market in time for Christmas, or wait until the 1985 season.
Firebird’s plans do not include utilities in the short term: ‘At present we don’t have the staff to support technical enquiries, which is vital if you are going to publish utilities properly,’ Tony Rainbird commented, ‘obviously we’ve got people in the office who can write code, but they’re busy enough as it is!’
