BBG Software (also written as BBG-Software and Bialke-Berendsen-Gliszczynski Software) was a German software developer and publisher based in Ahrensburg, West Germany. The company was active in the mid- and late 1980s and is documented in connection with software for the Sharp MZ, MSX and Schneider CPC home-computer markets.[1] [2] [3]
History
[edit ]In 1984, BBG Software advertised itself as a supplier of software for the Sharp MZ series from Schimmelmannstr. 90, D-2070 Ahrensburg.[1] By 1986, contemporary magazine sources were using the expanded company name Bialke-Berendsen-Gliszczynski Software and listing the address as Beimoorweg 2–4, D-2070 Ahrensburg, with the telephone number 04102/43940.[2] A 1989 software-industry directory still listed the company at Beimoorweg 2–4 in Ahrensburg.[3]
The full name Bialke-Berendsen-Gliszczynski Software', with business seat in Ahrensburg, is also recorded in later German library authority data.[4]
BBG Software was also active as a publisher of technical books for Sharp home computers. In 1984, Happy Computer reviewed Alles über den MZ 700, described as a 114-page book issued by BBG Software-Verlag.[5] A 1985 German National Library record also lists BBG-Software and Bialke-Berendsen-Gliszczynski-Software, Ahrensburg in connection with the book Alles über den MZ 800.[6]
Products
[edit ]Among the company's documented software products was Othello for Schneider computers, reviewed by Aktueller Software Markt in 1986.[2] Specialist software databases also associate BBG Software with MSX products including MSX-BASIC Compiler, MSX-Fortran and AIP-Logo.[7] [8]
BBG Software is also remembered for the Sharp MZ platform game Advoka, which preservation archives attribute to the company as publisher.[9]
Legacy
[edit ]Publicly accessible sources clearly document BBG Software from 1984 to at least 1989.[1] [2] [3] Its later corporate history is unclear from currently available public sources.
