Level 9 Computing

Level 9 Computing was a British computer company that operated during the 1980s. The company was notable for producing a series of popular microcomputers, particularly the Level 9 and later the BBC Micro. Level 9 Computing was founded by Mike and Nick Austin in 1981, and it initially focused on developing software for the ZX81 and ZX Spectrum, two popular home computers in the UK during that time.

The company gained recognition for producing a series of highly regarded interactive fiction titles, such as Colossal Adventure, Adventure Quest, and Dungeon Adventure. These games were known for their sophisticated and detailed storytelling, as well as their innovative parser, which allowed players to input more complex and natural language commands.
The company faced financial difficulties and eventually went into receivership in 1989.
