Summary:
Andromeda Software was Novotrade's parent marketing company, settled in London and led by a Hungarian expatriate called Robert Stein. As a Hungarian company, Novotrade was in need for a local representation in the UK software market. Stein become the perfect intermediary between the main companies of the nascent British software industry and the development team of Novotrade in his native country. Stein would make frequent visits to Budapest in order to find new software to export to the UK, and he would be the one to discover Tetris on a Budapest University PC and then license it to Mirrorsoft.
