''Cassette 50'' (released in Spain as ''Galaxy 50 - 50 Excitantes Juegos'') is a compilation of games published by Cascade Games Ltd in 1983, and is an early example of shovelware - computer software marketed primarily on the basis of its sheer quantity rather than other factors such as quality or playability. The compilation was advertised in home computer magazines, with buyers also receiving a Timex digital calculator watch with each purchase. According to the instructions, "the games will provide many hours of entertainment for all the family at a fraction of the cost of other computer games".〔(Cassette 50 inlay text )〕 The games were universally considered awful.〔(Rewind Issue 1: Cassette 50 III )〕 In an interview, Matthew Lewis, the author of ''Galaxy Defence'', said he wrote the game when he was 14 and submitted it in response to a small, anonymous ad in a local newspaper. He was paid £10 for his game, but he had to give up all rights to it. ''Galaxy Defence'' took 12 hours to code and the graphics were done by his father, Ernest Lewis.〔(Cassette 50: the interview | pixeltron )〕 ==Content== The games featured differed depending on the platform. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cassette 50」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
