Games - Guild Adventure Software, The (35 results)

Adventure author Tony Collins had self-published games such as Nythyel, Theseus and Miami Mice for Spectrum & Amstrad in the mid-1980s.

After working with Mark Eltringham’s Recreation Re-Creation Software, Tony returned to the scene and launched his own software label in October 1991, initially concentrating on converting games from other 8-bit formats to the Spectrum & Commodore 64 machines.

Tony, often working as Pegasus Software, produced lots of quick, no-thrills ports of Amstrad titles to the Spectrum & Commodore 64. Initially Philip Reynolds produced conversions to Amstrad format for him, before going on to set up his own company The Adventure Workshop.

When Recreation Re-Creation went out of business Tony took on a lot of their Amstrad titles, with The Guild initially publishing the disk versions and P.K. Graphics selling the tape editions. Most of The Guild's Amstrad games were passed on to The Adventure Workshop in 1992, when Tony began focusing on the C64 and potential future 16-bit conversions.

The Guild also ran a Public Domain library of C64, Amiga and Spectrum adventures.

The Guild suddenly closed up shop in the autumn of 1993 with the titles in its catalogue being scattered to other homegrown publishing labels. Some were taken on by Adventure Probe. An agreement was made with Jason Mackenzie of Binary Zone PD to sell The Guild's C64 titles under license. Other games ended up being republished by The Adventure Workshop.
