Data Design Interactive was a British video game developer. The company was founded by Stewart Green in 1983 as Data Design Systems for him to create and sell budget software for the ZX Spectrum.
History
I decided I wanted to break into the budget software market − I think the software industry could be killing itself with the £10 game. Budget software like Cascade's 50 Games compilation, has got to be value for money − if you only play each game on a 50 game compilation for ten minutes, then you've had over a day's solid entertainment.
