Speedball 2 was pretty cool, as was Populus from the afore mentioned Bullfrog.
You've missed out Microprose, whose UK arm were based in Tetbury for a bit and were responsible for Geoff Crammond's superb Microprose Grand Prix.
And Anco - Kick off 2. Which I am not getting into an argument over, but was the best 2 player game ever.
Of course probably the most memorable computer related football sponsorship was the Chelsea/Commodore tieup.
See I thought it was Electronic Arts that were based in Tetbury as my sister inlaw used to work there, I am probably wrong though. Batch is the man! |

Batch is the man who used to live next door to the man who worked for Micrprose and so got free t-shirts and stuff (no games though). EA may also have been in Tetbury as STA says. I don't know. I just don't know. |
