    REEVE Software (Atari ST, 1987)

    This Atari ST ad from 1987 looks a littly shady to me. Is that supposed to be a dog looking shamefully at its own poop? Because that’s what it looks like to me… And an address on Old Farm Lane in Illinois? Sounds like it would be an empty field with a mailbox…

    It turns out that Reeve Software was a reasonably successful small software publisher that published a number of titles on the Atari ST and other platforms, most of them of decent quality. News Station ST and Disk Master both seemed to be viewed favorably and Adventure Con-Struk-Tor sounds interesting though I couldn’t find a review after a quick search. The hockey game was apparently less successful but that’s still not a bad average.

    It turns out that Reeve Software (or REEVEsoft as it is now called) is still in business today (see http://www.reevesoft.com). Their stock images look a little dated (but at least it isn’t a dog and his poop) as do some of the links but the copyright date says 2016 so I assume they are still in business…
