About

Flimbo's Quest is a 2D platform game published by British publishing house System 3 (later renamed to Studio 3 Interactive) for the Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST and Amstrad CPC. A ZX Spectrum version was produced, but never released. The game itself was developed by Laurens van der Donk in the Netherlands who was involved in the demoscene being in both Boys Without Brains (BWB) and Hotline.

The music was put together by developers Maniacs of Noise. The original C64 music was composed by Johannes Bjerregaard with the exception of the loading music which was composed by Reyn Ouwehand (who later released a remix of that song). Charles Deenen arranged the Amiga version's music which follows Bjerregaard's original.
