Quicksilva Ltd. was founded by Nick Lambert in 1981. It became one of the UK industry's first big companies, releasing at least 50 Spectrum games and 20 Commodore 64 titles, including games from Jeff Minter and titles from Spain's Indescomp team such as Bugaboo (The Flea) and Fred. In 1984, Quicksilva was bought by The Argus Press Group.
