Bubble Bus Software

Bubble Bus Software was a publisher of video game software for home computers in the mid-1980s, founded by Mark Meakins[1][2] and based in Tonbridge, Kent. Their releases targeted popular home computers of the time, such as the Commodore 64, VIC-20 and ZX Spectrum.[3] Their most notable releases were Starquake and Wizard's Lair, both written by Stephen Crow. Wizard's Lair was notable for its similarity to both Atic Atac and Sabre Wulf.[4]

gollark: I mean, the matcher isn't parallel because it needs to know about previously bound bindings, but the reduction-rule-applier is.
gollark: Much. Ish. Kind of.
gollark: It was trivial via rayon and the fact that subexpressions don't depend on each other.
gollark: (although that only becomes obvious when it gets stuck in horrible infinite loops due to misprogrammed rules)
gollark: (it actually does run expression simplification in parallel, which is neat)
