Micro Power was the first independent publisher to develop and sell commercial games for the BBC Micro (Platform). Based on Micro Power's success, further games would be developed by companies like Acornsoft (Company), which itself was owned by Acorn Computers, the system's manufacturer. The company is believed to have gone into bankruptcy in the late 1980s, and the legal status of its games catalogue is unknown.
