Tynesoft Computer Software was a software developer and publisher in the 1980s and early 1990s.

The company was originally created in 1983 to release educational software, but it soon moved into the video game market that it focused on for most of its time.

He developed numerous games for a wide variety of 8-bit mics, particularly those less requested by other publishers such as the Commodore 16, BBC Micro, and Atari 8-bit. They also had a low-budget label, Micro Value, which released compilations, reissues, and some original games.

His biggest hits came with multi-load games like "Summer Olympiad," "Circus Games," and "Rodeo Games." They also released licensed versions or ports such as Jet Set Willy from Software Projects (Atari 8-bit, Commodore 16 / Plus / 4, BBC Micro and Acorn Electron), Boulder Dash from First Star Software (BBC, Electron) and Spy vs. Spy (C16 / + 4, BBC, Electron) and Indoor Sports by Mindscape (C16 / + 4, BBC, Electron).

Starting in the late 1980s, they released games for the 16-bit Amiga and Atari ST computers, as well as for PCs, but they failed to capture much of this new market and with the demise of the 8-bit gaming scene, their sales fell.

The company went bankrupt in 1990 when its alternative printing business ran into massive debt, before it could publish its game based on Games Workshop's board game Blood Bowl.
