| Links Web sites of special interest to fans of Mastertronic. Thanks to emulators you can now play Mastertronic games on PCs and Macs and some of these sites are excellent resource centres. I am happy to add links - email me if there is something that should be in this list. |
| Spectrum Archive - the best resource for Speccy games, cover scans, links to magazine reviews, publishers and much more. |
| Alex Buckley's Mastertronic site - dedicated to the company with discussion, games and full list of releases (supplied by me). Not updated since 2003 - Where are you Alex? |
| Hans Persson's Lysator site specialising in adventure games |
| The Little Green Desktop - best source for Atari ST games, scans and reviews |
| Allan Bairstow's Commodore Scene site. Commodore Scene is a printed magazine for enthusiasts still using and developing the C64. He interviewed me and published the results in the August 2000 issue. |
| C64 Games Guide - lists of many games publishers |
| Moby Games - everything about PC based games - They have a history of Mastertronic that I supplied. |
| Kim Lemon's C64 download site - masses of the best games and many inlay cover scans. In August 2002 Kim put on his site a major interview with me and a history of Mastertronic written by Lee Theasby. Each Mastertronic game on the site has a direct link to the interview. Sadly Kim has withdrawn (May 2004) many of the downloads but it is still an excellent site. |
| C64HQ - Games, info and interviews with leading figures in the C64 gaming scene |
| UK Retro Retailer specialising in remaindered stock. Masses of 8 bit games software on cassette and disk, mostly from Mastertronic, much in the original packaging including "triple" packs specially produced for major UK retailers. Anyone building a collection of software in its original form should see this site. |
| Mr. Bacardi's Atari site, including my history of the company |
| Magnetic Fields - formerly Mr. Chip, a major supplier of games to Mastertronic, including Kikstart, Caves of Doom, Hero of the Golden Talisman, Big Mac, Duck Shoot, P.O.D., Spectipede and Vegas Jackpot |
| Clive Brooker's site - author of One Man and his Droid, Empire Fights Back and Lap of the Gods. |
| Mark Brady designed some of our original cover art, including Orbitron, Doodlebug and 3D Maze. |
| Retro Gamer magazine published my history of Mastertronic in an 8 page spread in its opening issue, January 2004. The original publisher, Live Publishing, went into administration in October 2005 but it's good to see that Retro Gamer has been acquired by another publisher and is going forward in strength. |
| A fan site dedicated to music maestro Rob Hubbard, composer of the music on Master of Magic, Spellbound, Hunter Patrol, Bump Set Spike, One Man and his Droid, Phantoms of the Asteroids and several others. |
| Was Mastertronic the greatest budget publisher? Richard Hewison has fond memories of our great rivals Firebird as you can see on his tribute site to Telecomsoft |
| Gamestalks - A big site widely covering games and publishers past and present |
| Vinny Mainolfi's End of the Line - C64 stuff mainly. Shows the ending screens of games, the bits that I rarely saw in the days when I was playing them. Great to see this site back on-line after several years down. |
Ebay- If there is anyone collecting original software who doesn't know about this online auction site, then go there now and make up for lost time. Mastertronic games are regularly auctioned. |
