New Generation Software
Defunct video game company
New Generation Software was an early British video games developer producing games for the Sinclair ZX81 and ZX Spectrum computers. It was conceived in the spring of 1982 shortly after the lead developer, Malcolm Evans created 3D Monster Maze (initially released by J. K. Greye Software, and later republished by New Generation Software), one of the first 3D games for a home computer.
