Interceptor Micros
Interceptor Micros (also known as Interceptor Software and later as Interceptor Group) was a developer and publisher owned and operated by father and son team Julian and Richard Jones, around the small town of Tadley, near Basingstoke in Hampshire. At the height of its success the company employed around thirty people, publishing adventure games and other genres for 8bit and 16bit computer systems during the eighties and early nineties. However, the company fell victim to the 90's video game decline, and went out of business in the early nineties.
