SOFTWARE USED IN CANADIAN HOME ON APPLE IIC PERSONAL COMPUTER. ORIGINAL APPLE II, INTRODUCED IN 1977, WAS FIRST PC TO BE MASS MARKET SUCCESS IN CANADA AS ELSEWHERE B.C.’s Quest for Tires was developed by Artech Studios of Ottawa, Ontario for Sydney Development Corp. of Vancouver, British Columbia. Sydney Development Corp. was the only large Canadian based video game publisher/developer in the early 1980s. The business model worked so that some titles were developed in Vancouver while other titles were farmed to other Canadian software developers (mostly in Ottawa and Toronto) only to have them branded as Sydney games. Ironically, B.C’s Quest for Tires was a successful adaptation of a popular franchise (comic strip B.C) at a time when the industry, internationally, was suffering from poorly developed games even when licensed. Boulder Dash was one of the first modern video games developed in Canada. Created by Chris Grey of Ottawa, Ontario and further developed by Peter Leipa of Toronto, Boulder Dash is an example of an early Canadian game published by a US publisher rather than the Vancouver based Sydney Development Corp.
