| | Hewson |
Hewson was started up early in the 80s in the UK by Andrew Hewson and lived through the C64 days producing some fine titles until they closed down in 1991.
Some of their most popular titles were: Alleykat, Cybernoid, Gribbly's Day Out, Heavy Metal Paradroid, Iridis Alpha, Paradroid, Rana Rama, Zamzara and
naturally Uridium which set the standard of fast scrolling shooters in 1986. Hewson also had a budget label called Rack It where they also re-released some
of their most popular titles later.
Note that the list might not be complete with all the different covers, media types and countries. If you got information about other releases please email me. Especially if you got a good cover scan I am missing. If you got anything for trade that I miss (see checkmarks) please contact me for trade/sale. Tape releases
