Data Design Interactive was a British video game developer based near Birmingham. It 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.
