The Horace video game series was created in the 1980s by William Tang for Beam Software.

The ZX Spectrum original was marketed and distributed by Sinclair themselves, the Commodore 64 and Dragon 32 versions by Melbourne House.

[4] In 1983, Tang produced the third title in the series, Horace and the Spiders which was primarily a platform game.

This title was announced in 1985 but the game never appeared, due to the author Tang suffering a collapsed lung and being unable to continue.

This fourth entry in the Horace series is a platform game split into one-screen levels in the style of Manic Miner and was coded by Michael Ware of Proteus Developments.

The name is written in a font similar to the one used on the ZX Spectrum, and is accompanied by a Spectrum-style rainbow pattern.
