Software Projects was a computer game development company which was started by Manic Miner developer Matthew Smith, Alan Maton and Liverpool businessman Tommy Barton. After leaving Bug-Byte as a freelance developer, Smith was able to take the rights to his recently developed Manic Miner game with him, due to an oversight in his freelance contract.[2] Software Projects was then able to market and publish the ZX Spectrum hit game separately from Bug-Byte. Their logo was a Penrose triangle.
In 1987, Software Projects released Special FX Software's first title Hysteria.[3]
