After running her ‘Witch of Wessex’ adventure helpline for many years, Joan Pancott decided to fill the gap in the Amstrad CPC & PCW market by setting up her own homegrown software company in 1990.
Publishing new titles and conversions from authors such as Michael and Jane Trewhella, Bob Adams, Simon Avery and Steve Clay, as well as republished older Amstrad games, WOW software won multiple UK Adventurers’ Convention awards for best independent software house.
After the death of Joan Pancott in 1997, Barbara Gibb of Adventure Probe took over the running of WoW.
