Jukka Tapanimäki

After failing the entrance exams to the University of Art and Design Helsinki twice, he instead started studying literature in 1984.

One of his finished programs was named Aikaetsivä, a Finnish language text adventure in the style of Infocom, which the Tamperean retailer Triosoft bought publishing rights to but did not release.

The first successfully operating game written by Tapanimäki was Monolith, announced in the June–July 1986 issue of MikroBITTI.

Zamzara is a single-player platform game where the player takes the role of an alien, whose mission is to escape a laboratory complex before a time bomb explodes.

Many action game fans found Zamzara satisfying due to its various graphics styles.

Because of agreements made with Hewson, the game could only be published two years after its completion[citation needed], and was a commercial failure.
