Bubble Bus
September 5, 2026
Bubble Bus Software was founded by Mark Meakins and based in a converted granary in Tonbridge, Kent, best known for Starquake and Wizard's Lair (both by Stephen Crow) on the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, and recognisable at computer shows for its distinctive red double-decker-bus display stand. The company broadened into MSX, Amstrad and Einstein software during the mid-1980s; this archive credits Bubble Bus with "Use It" and "Supernews" plus a TC01-only release of Hustler (1985) for the Tatung Einstein.
