Novagen Software Explained
Novagen Software Ltd (commonly referred to as Novagen) was a British software developer which released a number of computer games on a variety of platforms from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s.
The company was set up by Paul Woakes and Bruce Jordan[2] and employed approximately 18 people.[3] In addition to running Novagen, Paul Woakes also developed and programmed the vast majority of the company's products and the first version of a custom loading scheme that worked ten times faster than Commodore's own, which became Novaload.[4] [5] [6]
