Cuthbert (Microdeal)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cuthbert was the mascot of the British software company Microdeal and was a character in several of their games of the 1980s:-

• Cuthbert Goes Digging
• Cuthbert Goes Walkabout
• Cuthbert in the Jungle
• Cuthbert in the Mines
• Cuthbert in Space
• Cuthbert in the Cooler

The first two of these games, Digging and Walkabout, were written at Microdeal by programmer Steve Bak. The others were originally marketed overseas under completely different names and had nothing to do with the original Cuthbert games.

Microdeal also produced Cuthbert-branded blank media (tapes, disks, etc) and published an occasional semi-promotional magazine called The Cuthbert Chronicle.
