The fallout from the over-crowded market and the poor sales at Christmas caused instability amongst the software houses. Rumours abounded. In this piece, in Personal Computer News 4 August 1984, the fates of both Carnell Software and Rabbit Software were linked to Mastertronic. Nothing concrete came from the Rabbit angle.
Please follow and like us:
Curiously, though, Rabbit Software was in the end bought out by Virgin Games – three or four years before Virgin and Mastertronic eventually came together!
So technically speaking, do all games from Rabbit come under the extended Mastertronic or Virgin Mastertronic umbrella…?
I consider them part of the extended Mastertronic Collecting Universe – that is one of the Rabbit holes I have gone down!😃 (Partly because Rabbit themselves have common packaging styles and a numbering scheme across many of their releases. I feel another checklist coming on…)
