Tynesoft Computer Software

Tynesoft Computer Software was a British video game development and publishing company that operated during the 1980s and early 1990s. Founded in 1981 by John and Chris Tynes, the company was based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Tynesoft primarily focused on developing and publishing games for home computer platforms popular at the time, such as the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and Atari 8-bit computers. They were known for producing a wide range of games spanning various genres, including arcade, action, adventure, and educational titles.

Some of Tynesoft's notable games include "Android 2", an action-adventure game released in 1983 for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, and "Mr. Wimpy," a platform game based on the Wimpy burger restaurant mascot, released in 1984 for several home computer platforms.

While Tynesoft developed and published games for several years, they eventually faced financial difficulties and ceased operations in the early 1990s, like many other companies in the rapidly evolving video game industry at the time.
