Summary:
Red Shift started more or less by accident. Helmut Watson and Julian Fuller started working on Miniature Wargames, a monthly wargaming magazine. With help from the magazine's backer they opened Conflict, a shop selling board games, games of strategy, war game accessories, and a range of computer software. But they were not impressed with a lot of the software they saw, and so the idea of Red Shift was born.
Summary:
When Red Shift started to have problems, most of the programmers moved to the SLUG co-op.
