A few were also ported to other 8-bit platforms including Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum but these never achieved the success of the Acorn originals.

While mostly well received and popular at the time (especially on the Acorn platforms), by the mid 1980s, video games were becoming increasingly complex.

Another later release was puzzle/platform game Imogen (BBC only, later ported to Electron by Superior Software and more recently remade for PC[4]) by Michael St. Aubyn which was noted for its witty, original puzzles and cute high-resolution monochrome graphics.

There were also two 32-bit games, Chess 3D[5] and Zelanites the Onslaught (a Space Invaders clone) for the Acorn Archimedes, released in 1991. Notable earlier games include: As well as games, Micro Power released a number of educational programs (covering subjects such as science and geography) as well as utility software such as the Draw art package (BBC, Electron), Basic Extensions[6] and Constellation astronomy program (Atom, BBC, later ported to Electron by Superior Software).
