This advert for Martech Games was printed in Personal Computer News Issue 30 in 1983. Headline game is Harrier Attack on the Oric-1 and ZX Spectrum. Also listed are Starfighter (Oric-1), Blastermind (ZX Spectrum) and The Quest of Merravid (VIC-20 and CBM-64). Some of these games, such as Harrier Attack, were actually written (and published) by Durell Software. I assume there was some sort of publishing agreement between the two.
