Well, it all started around the end of the 70's.
Personal computers were just making it into a few homes and Magnavox & Atari had turned televisions into gaming machines.
People were anxious to get on the computer bandwagon.
We were a small company, started because it turned out we could actually get a game written in 3.5k of ram on a Vic20.
This was when the Commodore Vic20 first came out. There was hardly any software available for it and we wanted to be involved in the business.
We started in a garage, then rented some commercial space, and then built a warehouse, all in a couple years.
Crazy but fun times. 'A year ago we didn't know what a sales rep was, now we have them' (Gary Elder, 1983).
Like most of the small software companies, we got squashed during the video game crash of 1984, but it was exciting times.
For whatever reason, the Nufekop games' approach to things just resonated with people.
We didn't take ourselves too seriously.
In fact, everything was done in fun.
This entire site is intended to capture some of that fun and excitement. Just wanted to share a few things back with y'all.
If you were around back then, you know what what we're talking about!
