J. K. Greye Software

J.K. Greye Software was a British software company set up by John K. Greye and Malcolm Evans after they met at a classical guitar club in Bristol in 1981. They produced computer games for the Sinclair ZX81 and ZX Spectrum home computers.

They struck gold with the revolutionary "3D Monster Maze", the first 3D game for a home computer, which Evans had already developed before they formed the company. In the spring of 1982, Greye and Evans split up and Evans founded his own company, New Generation Software, which continued to produce games for the ZX Spectrum.

Another individual associated with J.K. Greye Software, presumeably Greye himself, set up J.K. Greye Enterprises Ltd, a separate company which split off around February/March 1983.
